"Caspar van Wittel was a Dutch painter and draughtsman, trained in his hometown of Amersfoort, Netherlands in the workshop of the painter Matthias Withoos. He followed his master's footsteps when he moved to Rome around 1675, where he [van Wittel] became known as Vanvitelli. He began painting topographical views in the 1680s, and by the 1690s had established a clear style, distinctive for its realism and subject matter. While his predecessors in this genre had focused mainly on the ruins, ancient monuments and religious sites around Rome, van Wittel sought to chronicle the newer parts of the city, and so was a pioneer in the visual documentation of modern Rome."
