A rare and resplendent historical view of the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna by Gaspare Vanvitelli. The monument occupies most of the painting. The dominant colour is light brown, which van Wittel has skilfully shaded. At the far right are three onlooker-pilgrims, while on the left is a large tree that does not distract the viewer from the view of the Basilica. The painting was made by Vanvitelli during his stay in Emilia-Romagna.
The painting is part of the collection Devonshire Collections, Chatsworth.
