The Castel Nuovo was depicted on numerous occasions by Vernet. In the Versailles album there were no less than four views of it, one of which, a view of the castle with Vesuvius in the background, numbered XXIII, is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, J. Bean, 15th-18th Century French Drawings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1986, no. 306, illustrated. A dramatic view of one of the towers, presumably originally from the same album as the Versailles drawings, numbered 'VI', is in the Albertina in Vienna, P. Conisbee, Claude-Joseph Vernet, 1714-1789, exhib. cat., The Iveagh Bequest, Kenwood, London, 1976, fig. 10.
