## Commentary

This canvas was part of a series of Italian views commissioned by the ninth Duke of Medinaceli, Viceroy of Naples, in around 1700. Many of the vedute are depictions of Naples and the surrounding countryside but there were also views of Venice, Florence and Rome. The present painting shows a view of Florence from the right bank of the river Arno looking towards the Ponte alla Carraia.
