# Interior view [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VANVITELLI, Luigi]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary From the octagonal vestibule in the centre, Italy's largest ceremonial staircase ascends at right angles. Its rather austere decoration may be fashioned after Versailles, but the staircase hall as such and the staircase with its central flight leading to a broad landing from where two flights turn along the walls and end under a screen of three arches - all this is North Italian, which ultimately points back to <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/l/longhena/8stair.html'\)" href="/html/l/longhena/8stair.html">Longhena's scenographic staircase</a> in San Giorgio Maggiore. The picture shows the staircase. ## Related artworks - [Diana and Actaeon]() - [Diana and Actaeon]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Interior view]() - [Interior view]() - [Interior view]() - [Interior view]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
