Caspar van Wittel
(1652 - 1736)
 

Caspar van Wittel or Gaspar van Wittel (born Jasper Adriaensz van Wittel), known in Italian as Gaspare Vanvitelli, was a Dutch painter and draughtsman who had a long career in Rome. He played a pivotal role in the development of the genre of topographical painting known as veduta. He is credited with turning topography into a painterly specialism in Italian art.
