Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg Paintings in GeoCodedArt

Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (1783-1853) painted architecturally specific views of sites in Rome just as he saw them, and included just as much detail on the people moving past his locations, whatever their state of decay.  Most of his works have a crystal clear light more common to his native Denmark, rather than the golden glow that is associated with Rome.
For an artist whose renderings of buildings had the precision of a draftsman, he did as many fine works capturing human forms in a wide range of natural states;  most are not in formal poses though portraits are also part of his varied catalog.  In later years, and on return to northern climates, he did a number of marine works, again faithfully detailing the features of large ships that were essential to their good function.

Franz Ludwig Catel Paintings in Geocoded Art

Franz Ludwig Catel (1778–1856) painted scenes in Rome and southern Italy that have a sentimental fondness for a land warmed by the sun, where life is lived at a pace that is not likely to wear one out.  His views are overwhelmingly in brown and yellow tones, as if every site he visited is stuck on yellowing pages of past glory.  The way of life is a prominent feature in these works, not just natural beauty, nor the imposing architecture. They contribute to what makes a scene worth memorializing, but the way one spends their time while there, and the way it feels to be under the warm Italian sun, make for a more charming reflection.

Thomas Jones Paintings Geocoded

Thomas Jones (1743-1803) painted dramatic nature scenes in his native Wales before rendering a series of works in the south of Italy.  There his choice of subjects might be characterized as views that are  "off the beaten track".  Each of his works around Naples is named with detail as to its location, but the views are unexpected ones, with buildings partially obscured, lacking the majestic profiles of the famous landmarks. They have a freshness, though, that permits the viewer to get a strong sense of being there, and getting the feeling that travelers often experience: looking more at the side of a building than one might like, and wondering if a better view might be possible.

Semyon Fiodorovich Shchedrin Paintings in GeocodedArt

Tsarskoe Selo Park

Painting by Semyon Fiodorovich Shchedrin (1745-1804) 

The elder of the painting Shchedrins (uncle of Silvestr), he painted royal locations, but it seems without intent to overawe the viewer with the prerogative and power that attaches to these locations.  These look like sites that any person would enjoy, with far more natural effects than with architectural bravado.

New Rome With The Castel Sant Angelo

Painting by Silvestr Shchedrin (1791-1830) 

Nephew of Semyon, the younger Shchedrin did very evocative paintings in Italy that hold up today for their "now-ness".  The atmosphere, the sound of waves, every sense of the place is conveyed through careful inclusion of detail, realistic lighting and color, and with iconic subjects in the background that are instantly familiar
