Painting by J. M. W. Turner
Caligula's Palace and Bridge is an 1831 landscape painting by the British artist J.M.W. Turner .[ 1] It is an imagined scene of the giant palace and bridge from Baiae to Puteoli across the Bay of Naples , built under the direction of the deranged Roman Emperor Caligula .
At the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1831 at Somerset House , this and another work by Turner Vision of Medea were hung either side of John Constable 's Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows providing a striking contrast which was picked up on by reviewers.[ 2] This reportedly led to a row between the two men in front of their fellow artists, as Constable was on the hanging committee that chose were paintings would be placed.[ 3]
Today the painting is in the collection of the Tate Britain in Pimlico , having been part of the Turner Bequest of 1856[ 4] Turner later engaged Edward Goodall to prodce an engraving based on the work.[ 5]
