EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning view of the city of London, as depicted in a 1753 print by Stevens, showcases the architectural grandeur of the British capital during the eighteenth century. The focus of the composition is the iconic St. Paul's Cathedral, which stands proudly in the middle, its impressive dome and intricate spires dominating the skyline. The print, which is a hand-colored etching, offers a unique perspective of London from the north side, providing a detailed and accurate representation of the city's buildings and geographical features. The print is the work of Giovanni Antonio Canaletto, also known as Il Canaletto, an Italian artist who was renowned for his detailed and realistic cityscapes. The print was published by Robert Sayer in London and was likely produced for collectors and connoisseurs of art and architecture. The use of hand-coloring and hand-tinting adds an additional layer of visual richness to the print, bringing the scene to life and enhancing the overall effect. The River Thames, which runs through the heart of London, is also prominently featured in the print, with several boats and ships visible on the water. The print provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the architectural heritage of London during the eighteenth century and the influence of Dutch and Netherlandish art on British art. Today, this print is a cherished piece of heritage art and can be found in the collections of prestigious museums such as the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the British Museum in London.
