A View of Ripetta is a 1766 landscape painting by the French artist Hubert Robert.[1] A veduta, it depicts the historic Porto di Ripetta, a port that served the city of Rome.[2][3] In capriccio style, it features the Pantheon immediately behind it. It was exhibited at the Salon of 1767 at the Louvre in Paris. Today it is part of the collection of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, having been acquired in 1884.[4]
