"View of the Stairwell" (Italian: "Veduta della Scalinata") is a renowned fresco by the Italian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, created in the mid-18th century. This work is one of the masterpieces of Tiepolo's mature period, exemplifying his mastery of illusionistic ceiling painting and his ability to manipulate perspective to create a sense of grandeur and depth.

The fresco is located in the Würzburg Residence, a palace in Würzburg, Germany, which was commissioned by the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, Carl Philipp von Greiffenclau. The painting adorns the grand staircase (Treppenhaus) of the residence, which was designed by the architect Balthasar Neumann. Tiepolo, along with his son Domenico and a workshop of assistants, was brought to Würzburg in 1750 to decorate the ceilings of the newly constructed palace with frescoes.

"View of the Stairwell" is celebrated for its dynamic composition and the way in which it integrates with the architecture of the staircase. The fresco depicts an assembly of gods, goddesses, and allegorical figures that appear to be interacting with the real space of the stairwell. The figures are arranged in a swirling, upward motion, leading the viewer's eye towards the heavens, and are painted with a lightness and vibrancy that is characteristic of Tiepolo's work.

The fresco's trompe-l'œil effect is particularly noteworthy, as Tiepolo used foreshortening and other perspective techniques to create the illusion that the painted figures occupy three-dimensional space. The illusion is so convincing that the figures seem to be part of the architectural structure itself, blurring the line between the real and the painted world.

"View of the Stairwell" is not only a testament to Tiepolo's artistic skill but also an important example of the Baroque and Rococo styles, which emphasized grandeur, movement, and dramatic effect. The fresco has been widely studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its significance in the history of European art.

As a key work in Tiepolo's oeuvre and an integral part of the Würzburg Residence—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—"View of the Stairwell" continues to attract scholars, art enthusiasts, and tourists, remaining a vital piece of 18th-century art and a monument to the creative genius of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
