A monumental historical view of the Colosseum painted by Gaspare Vanvitelli, with a sunset lighting effect. The Arch of Constantine stands out, but it is the Colosseum, with its grandeur, that captures the viewer. At the foot of the monument are a few passers-by, while at the sides are some houses. No other buildings such as St Peter's or the Roman palazzi are depicted: the scene belongs entirely to the Colosseum, which draws pilgrims and citizens of Rome like a magnet.
The painting is undated and is part of the collection Earl of Leicester and the Trustees of the Holkham Estate.
