Gaspar van Wittel, also known as Vanvitelli, was a Dutch painter and draughtsman who became renowned for his detailed and realistic vedute, or cityscapes. Born in Amersfoort in 1653, Van Wittel moved to Italy in the late 1670s, where he adopted the Italianized version of his name and became a pivotal figure in the development of the veduta genre. His works are characterized by their meticulous attention to architectural detail and their ability to capture the vibrancy of urban life.

The term "Recto" in the context of Van Wittel's works typically refers to the front side of a drawing or a sheet of paper, often containing the primary image or composition. Van Wittel's recto drawings are highly valued for their precision and the insight they provide into his working methods and artistic process. These drawings often served as preparatory studies for his larger paintings, allowing him to experiment with composition, perspective, and lighting.

Van Wittel's influence extended beyond his own works; he played a crucial role in the artistic development of his son, Luigi Vanvitelli, who became a prominent architect. Gaspar van Wittel's legacy is evident in the way his detailed and atmospheric cityscapes paved the way for future generations of vedutisti, including the likes of Canaletto and Bernardo Bellotto.

While specific information about a work titled "Recto" by Van Wittel or his circle may not be readily available, his oeuvre as a whole remains a testament to his skill and innovation in capturing the essence of urban landscapes. His drawings and paintings continue to be studied and admired for their technical mastery and their ability to transport viewers to the bustling streets and serene canals of 17th and 18th-century Italy.
