Veduta
Translation- Veduta
A "veduta" (Italian for "view"; plural "vedute") is a highly detailed, usually large-scale
painting of a cityscape or some other vista.This
genre of landscape originated inFlanders , where artists such asPaul Brill painted "vedute" as early as the 16th century. In the 17th century Dutch painters made a specialty of detailed and accurate recognizable city and landscapes that appealed to the sense of local pride of the wealthy Dutch middle class. An archetypal example isJohannes Vermeer 's "View of Delft".As the itinerary of the
Grand Tour became somewhat standardized, "vedute" of familiar scenes like the Roman Forum or the Grand Canal recalled early ventures to the Continent for aristocratic Englishmen. By the mid-18th century,Venice became renowned as the centre of the "vedutisti". The genre's greatest practitioners belonged to the Canal and Guardi families of Venice. Some of them went to work as painters in major capitals of Europe, e.g.,Canaletto inLondon and his nephewBernardo Bellotto inDresden andWarsaw .In other parts of 18th-century Italy, idiosyncratic varieties of the genre evolved.
Giovanni Paolo Pannini was the first veduta artist to concentrate on paintingruin s.Vanvitelli and others painted "veduta esatta". Later, Pannini's veduta morphed into the scenes partly or completely imaginary, known as "capricci" and "vedute ideate" or "veduta di fantasia" [ Wittkower, p. 501] .Giambattista Piranesi was the foremost master of "vedute ideate"etching s. His topographical series, "Vedute di Roma", went through many printings.In the later 19th century, more personal "impressions" of cityscapes replaced the desire for topographical accuracy, which was satisfied instead by painted, and later photographed,
