View of the City: Vedute and Panoramas from the Albertina

The 32 selected views of cities across Europe, the Middle East and the Americas document the executing artists’ high level of skill, attesting to their masterly use of brush, pen and coloured pencil. Also evident is their trained eye for the choice of location, motif and detail. Usually drawn from an elevated position, these pictures offer a commanding overview of the interplay of geography and urban buildings. Particularly in panoramas, the artists could often adeptly combine several viewpoints in one drawing to create realistic cityscapes.
