Description:
|
|
Gaspar van Wittel's work has been considered an important precedent to urban 'veduta' painting, which reached its highest point during the Settecento. Trained by the genre painter Mathias Withoos, Van Wittel is documented in Italy from 1675 when he collaborated with the engineer Cornelis Meyer. As a surveyor he illustrated a project for the navigation of the river Tiber; this series of drawings would be a valuable record in the direction of his career. His first cityscapes in Rome date from the 1680s. (Source: Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum [website]; https://www.museothy ssen.org/en/)
