Veduta, an Italian word meaning 'view,' is an art form in which the scene of a city, land, sea, or any other 'scape' is captured. These paintings are usually quite large in scale.
The History
The origination of Veduta can be traced back to the 16th century with the first of Vedute (plural) making their mark in the city of Flanders, a region shared by present day Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. By the 17th century, the royal and wealthy Dutch families were proudly flaunting the amazingly detailed, painted vistas. The majestic views of the River Thames in London are also amongst the initial Vedute works. Venice emerged as the hub of Venduta in around mid-eighteenth century.
The Details
Although sounding very similar to many other art forms, depicting the beauty of a city or a natural scene, the intricacies captured in Veduta were a class apart. Works depicting the beauty of nature, such as the views of flowing rivers &/or waterfalls, exemplary ancient architecture (majestic churches and arch-bridges), panoramic scenes from a mountaintop, and seascapes showing setting sun in clean blue sea waters were the essence of early Vedute. The particular favorites of the Veduta artists were cities, like Rome and Venice, which were full of natural beauty.
The Artists & the Artworks
Early Veduta artists (Vedutisti) included Paul Brill (Belgium, 1554-1626), who was recognized as the founding father of Veduta. Canaletto (Venice, 1697-1768) painted the splendid life like views of famous Venetian vistas. His select works are housed presently in the great art museums of the world. Another early work of merit is Johannes Vermeer's (Dutch, 1632-75) 'View of Delft' (1659-60). There were other three famous Veduta artists, Giacomo (1678-1716), Giannantonio (1699-1760), and Francesco (1712-1793), co-incidentally belonging to the same Italian Guardi family. They focused mainly on the views of the city of Venice. The most famous of the Guardi trio was Francesco, who was considered at par with Canaletto. In fact, Francesco's works were more depictive and the flow of ideas and brush-strokes were freer than the works of Canaletto. Giovanni Pannini (Italian, 1691-1765) was a revolutionary Vedutisti who focused only on painting the views of ruins. Giovanni Battista (also Giambattista) Piranesi's (1720-78) Varie Vedute di Roma Antica e Moderna (1745) was a series of famous Veduta works, which was etched rather than being painted.
Conclusion
While the earlier Veduta art forms were based on cities, like Venice, Dresden, Warsaw, and London, the later works depicted variety and diversity. By the late nineteenth century, Veduta evolved to customized depictions. With time, photography was also integrated to the genre.
