Jacques Carabain (1834-1933) painted city views that included interesting street activity, but you would look a long time to find a wide horizon in any of his works. His interest was in the richness of architectural detail available in every viewpoint; his were usually some out-of-the-way item of interest rather than grand structures or iconic views that all would have been familiar with.
He painted town scenes in Low Countries, Germany, and northern Italy, and more than a few of his paintings have as their subject the market day activities in towns that are not the subject of fine art by any other view painters.
