"Rome, A View Of The Piazza Di San Giovanni In Laterano Looking East, With The Scala Santa Beyond" is a notable 18th-century painting by the Italian vedutista (view painter) Bernardo Bellotto, a nephew and student of the famous Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto. This work is part of Bellotto's series of vedute, large-scale urban landscape paintings that offer detailed and accurate representations of city scenes.

The painting captures a view of the Piazza di San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome, looking east towards the Basilica of St. John Lateran, which is the cathedral church of Rome and the official ecclesiastical seat of the Bishop of Rome, who is the Pope. In the foreground, the composition features the Scala Santa, or Holy Stairs, which are a set of 28 white marble steps located within a building near the Basilica. According to Catholic tradition, these are the steps that Jesus Christ ascended during his Passion in Pontius Pilate's palace in Jerusalem, and they were later transported to Rome by Saint Helena in the 4th century.

Bellotto's painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to architectural detail and its use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and realism. The artist's skillful rendering of the buildings and the figures populating the piazza reflects his mastery of perspective and his ability to convey the grandeur of the urban landscape. The work is a testament to Bellotto's talent in capturing the essence of a city and its architecture, contributing to our understanding of the urban fabric and society of 18th-century Rome.

As with many of Bellotto's vedute, this painting serves not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, providing insight into the appearance and atmosphere of Rome during the period. The painting is significant for its artistic merit and for its value in the study of urban history and the development of the veduta genre. It remains an important example of Bellotto's contribution to the tradition of European landscape painting and is held in high regard by art historians and collectors alike.
