N. BITTNER (*1786) after DE PIAN (*1784), Destruction of Jerusalem, theatre backdrop, around 1818, E

Norbert Bittner (1786 - 1851 ) after Antonio de Pian (1784 Venice - 1851 Vienna): Destruction of Jerusalem, theatre backdrop with antique, orientalising city architecture, c. 1818, Etching Technique: Etching on Paper Inscription: At the lower part signed in the printing plate: "N. Bittner f. N. 87 / de Pian invt.". At the lower part inscribed: "La Destruzione die Gerusaleme". Date: c. 1818 Description: This work shows an idyllic veduta, captured in an etching. The picture reveals a composition of various architectural elements - Gothic spires, a classical dome and an Egyptian pyramid shape - embedded in an exotic landscape with palm trees. Architectural precision and the atmospheric play of light characterise the depiction, which suggests an imagined, idealised scenery.
