La peinture "Vue du Colisée de nuit" de Carl Gustav Carus dépeint une scène nocturne empreinte de mystère et de sérénité. Au premier plan, sous une arche massivement imposante et partiellement en ruines, des figures humaines sont éclairées par une faible lumière, probablement un feu, créant une atmosphère intime et recueillie. À travers l'arche, le Colisée se dévoile sous le clair de lune, évoquant son illustre passé et sa majesté décrépite. Les ruines sont baignées dans une lumière douce, contrastant avec l'obscurité environnante, tandis que la lune haute dans le ciel éclaire délicatement la scène, accentuant les textures et les formes des pierres antiques. Cette composition crée une profondeur impressionnante, guidant le regard du spectateur de l'intimité du premier plan vers l'immensité historique à l'arrière-plan.

Carl Gustav Carus was a German physiologist and painter born in Leipzig on January 3, 1789, who also played an important role in the Romantic era. He died on July 28, 1869. He was a physician, naturalist, scientist, psychologist, and landscape painter who had studied under Caspar David Friedrich; he was also a friend of the writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Two doctorates, in medicine and philosophy, were conferred upon him in 1811. In 1814, he was given the position of head of the maternity clinic and professor of obstetrics at Dresden's medical school. He theorized about art in his writings. He apprenticed with Dresden landscape painter Caspar David Friedrich from 1814 to 1817, during which time he taught himself oil painting. Later, he attended the Oeser drawing academy and took classes from Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld.

In Dresden, Carus passed away. He was laid to rest in Trinitatis Cemetery, located east of the city center. The grave can be found against the southern wall in the far south-western corner.
