A rare depiction of the Tiber Island, painted by Gaspare Vanvitelli. The island is placed at the centre of the painting and linked on either side by two bridges: a large double-arched one on the right, while on the left a single-arched bridge appears. Both are reflected in the Tiber. On the right is a river landing with various figures going about their activities. The light comes from behind the observer; in the background are the dome of St Peter’s and the Roman palazzi. On the left, near the lower corner of the painting, some rocks can be seen.
The painting is undated; this picture too is part of the prolific output Vanvitelli produced during his stays in Rome.
