Ludovico Caracciolo (1761 in Rome – 1842[1]) was an Italian landscapist and engraver. He became a protege of Elizabeth Foster, the second wife of William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire, who moved to Rome after she was widowed in 1811.[2]

He published a full set of print reproductions after Claude Lorrain's Liber Veritatis in Rome in 1815.[3] His specialism was architectural drawings and panoramas of Rome, including an 1824 oil on canvas that is now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum[4] – he also adapted that work as a six-print aquatint in 1831.
