Rome: View of the Arch of Titus
by WITTEL, Caspar Andriaans van, Oil on canvas, 31 x 40 cm
The Arch of Titus was painted by Vanvitelli on several other occasions: five are on canvas, one on copper, and one is a tempera. The Arch was frequently painted by vedutisti throughout the 18th century, and many chose to portray it from this side because of the bas-relief’s better state of preservation.
