The Diabolic City in Painting
Abstract
The sights of cities, an important genre of Baroque painting, almost disappeared with industrialization. The painters preferred to look back and to represent other topics. However, the modern city was breaking through in the painting of 19th and 20th centuries. The new image of the city is antithetical to the old veduta and acquired traits of representations of hell.
