Gaspar Adriaensz van Wittel
Gaspar van Wittel was born in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, in 1653. Considered one of the leading lights of 18th-century veduta painting, van Wittel studied in the workshop of Mathias Withoos, a Dutch artist specialised in landscapes and still life. In 1674 van Wittel moved to Rome, and in 1699 he was invited to Naples by Viceroy don Luis de la Cerda, Duke of Medinaceli, to paint a series of views which were to stand testimony to the impressive changes to the cityscape that the Viceroy was planning to make. In 1702 the painter returned to Rome where he painted many of his extremely famous Neapolitan views based on the sketches and drawings he had made during his previous stay in Naples.
