## Artwork

- Artist: [WITTEL, Caspar Andriaans van](<https://beta.wga.hu/artists/wittel-caspar-andriaans-van-r05577800313e7f>)
- Date: 1651-1700
- Technique: Oil on canvas, 75 x 133 cm

## Commentary

The painting shows the church of Santi Marcellino e Pietro, from the Vigna Ciccolini, with the Palazzo Laterano, the church of San Giovanni in Laterano, the Ospedale di San Giovanni and ruins of the Claudian Aqueduct beyond. The view is taken from a rare viewpoint, never repeated by the artist. Van Wittel reproduces the topography in characteristically accurate detail.
