Veduta
A veduta (
Italian for "view"; plural vedute) is a highly detailed, usually large-scale
painting of a cityscape or some other vista.This
genre of
landscape originated in
Flanders, where artists such as
Paul Brill painted vedute as early as the 16th century. In the 17th century Dutch painters made a specialty of detailed and accurate recognizable city and landscapes that appealed to the sense of local pride of the wealthy Dutch middle class. An archetypal example is
Vermeer's
View of Delft.
