This view of Tivoli shows the town and the river Aniene before the old waterfall. The view is taken from the left bank of the river Aniene, along the road which leads from the centre of Tivoli to the Ponte San Martino, and then out of the town towards the via Valeria. In the centre of the painting the lip of the waterfall can be made out, beyond which is an arch of the bridge and the Temple of Vesta with the bell tower of the church of San Giorgio which was built within the walls of the Roman temple. At the far right we see the Porta Sant'Angelo.
Wittel painted this view on a few other occasions.
