Evening: Landscape with an Aqueduct is an 1818 landscape painting by the French artist Théodore Géricault.[1][2][3]
It was one of three monumental landscapes showing various times of the day (a planned fourth was not produced). Géricault combines a view of the aqueduct of Spoleto which he had visited in 1817, with the stormy skies and turbulent moods of the developing romantic movement.[4] It is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.[5]
