A historical view of Naples set in the 17th century, painted by Gaspar van Wittel during his stay in Naples. This painting shows Vesuvius in the background, placed centrally, while the foreground depicts the port and the busy activity of the boats and sailing ships engaged in trade. The sky is cloudy, but the sun (not shown in the picture, as it is assumed to be where the observer stands) lights up the port.
The dominant colour of the picture is a green mixed with light blue, present across large areas of the sky and the waters of the Bay of Naples.
The painting is part of a private collection.
