Part of Macao Bay, looking west is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a Romantic-era drawing by George Chinnery. It shows Macau’s Praya Grande waterfront with hills behind. The artist sketched the bay and the path rising from Fort Bomparto to Penha Hill. The work is dated between 1825 and 1852. It’s a small sheet, likely made on the spot with quick, sure lines. Look next at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
