Ippolito Caffi (1809–1866) was an Italian painter of architectural subjects and seascapes or urbanvedute.

He was born atBelluno. His first works were produced at theAcademy of Fine Arts ofVenice. By 1830, he had won awards for his vedute at the academy. He subsequently moved to Rome, made some reputation by his treatise on perspective, as well as by his investigations onRoman archaeology. In 1843 he visited Greece and the East (Athens, Constantinople, Syria, Egypt, and Malta).^[1] The first work of his that created a sensation wasCarnival at Venice. This was exhibited at Paris in 1846, and was admired for its brilliant effects of light. Other works are hisPanorama of Rome from Monte Mario,Isthmus of Suez, andClose of the Carnival at Rome. He joined revolutionary movements inVenice in 1848, and had to retire into Piedmont. His aim of commemorating in paint the first Italian naval engagement was frustrated when theRe d' Italia, on which he travelled, was destroyed on 20 July 1866 by the Austro-Venetian fleet at thebattle of Lissa, drowning him along with his comrades.

In 2005–2006, an exhibition on Ippolito Caffi was held in his native Belluno.^[2]
