Here you’ll find two crisp views of Smyrna painted in 1779, the city’s rooftops and harbor captured in oil. The brushwork and muted palette belong to the late 18th-century topographical tradition, where artists traded fantasy for faithful cityscapes. If you like the way light slides across domes and minarets, tap “View of Smyrna (Izmir)” to see the scene up close.
