Voyage Pittoresque et Historique de l'Istrie et de la Dalmatie is a 1782 watercolor by Cassas, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour shows the falls on the Krka River in Northern Dalmatia. It’s part of a series Cassas drew around 1782. Later, engravers turned these drawings into prints for a travel book published in 1802. Cassas was known for travel drawings that mixed scenery with classical ruins. His work helped spread images of ancient buildings worldwide. Check out more of Cassas’s travel drawings next.
