Historical view of Rome's most important monument, the Colosseum, which Vanvitelli depicts illuminated by the setting sun. On the right the Arch of Constantine is depicted; however, it is the Colosseum that captures the viewer's attention with its grandeur. At the foot of the monument there are some people walking by, while at the sides there are some buildings. Other buildings, such as St. Peter's or Roman palaces, are not depicted; the focus of the painting is entirely on the Colosseum, which draws pilgrims and the citizens of Rome to it like a magnet.
The painting is undated and is part of the collection of the Earl of Leicester and the Trustees of the Holkham Estate.
