Description
A very scarce prospect of Constantinople published in Florence, by Baseggio, 1787.
- Massimino Baseggio (Italian).
- Veduta di Costantinopoli Presa da una Altura sopra Scutari..
- Florence: circa 1787.
- This work is presented unframed.
A striking view of Istanbul from a hill above Scutari, surrounded by a key border, featuring a 24-point key in a rococo cartouche above the city.
In the foreground the Pasha's fleet is firing a broadside.
At the time of this view Turkey was at war with Russia (1787-92), mainly caused by Catherine the Great's annexation of the Crimea.
