The Appian Way

Edward Bruce painted ‘The Appian Way’ around c. 1929. The medium is oil on canvas on panel. The work is held by the Cleveland Museum of Art.

The Appian Way, an ancient Roman road, stretches from Rome to Brindisi. Bruce’s painting captures a segment of this historic route.

Edward Bruce was an American artist born in 1879. He is not to be confused with Edward Bruce, Earl of Carrick, a historical figure from Scotland.
