Van Wittel canvas, 12,99x5,51 Inch

Reproduction of the work "Posillipo with the Palazzo Donn'Anna" by Gaspar Van Wittel (1653-1736) also known as Gaspare Vanvitelli, preserved at the Comption Verney.

The Dutch artist, father of Luigi Vanvitelli (architect who designed the Palace of Caserta), moved to Naples in 1674. He was the precursor of the landscape painting of the 18th century, which mainly placed the representation of natural landscapes and the evolution of cities at the center of its existence. The attention to the smallest details caused him a problem with his eyesight but at the same time he became one of the most sought-after painters by noble families.

Van Wittel, as well as Canaletto, were artists in great demand for various reasons: for their objectivity of the image which struck a chord with intellectuals who wanted a reproduction of landscapes seen , but also among people who, unable to travel, wanted a representation of the most famous places.
