Genre

Architecture & Buildings

Marine Landscape, Alfred Thompson Bricher

Buildings give a painting its bones and its perspective. The architectural view, perfected by the vedutisti of Venice, treated facades, arcades, and squares as portraits of stone, prized for the exactness of their measured space as much as for the life moving through it.
