A very rare historical view of the Basilian Monastery painted by Gaspare Vanvitelli. The monastery rises with its high walls and arches, and above all its small waterfalls. The dominant colour is brown. The monastery is perched on a hill and is watched by a few onlookers on a nearby hill, who can admire the landscape. One of the two visitors is seated and painting the view.
This painting, too, is part of the prolific output that Vanvitelli created during his stays in Rome.
The painting is part of the The Devonshire Collections, Chatsworth
