View of Yassy Taken from the Balcony of the St. Petersburg Hotel, Moldavia, July 19, 1837
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite 19th-century lithograph by the renowned French artist, Denis Auguste Marie Raffet. This artwork, created on July 19, 1837, offers an aerial perspective of the city of Yassy, now known as Iasi, in Moldavia, Romania. The black and white lithograph, in a letterbox format, is a stunning representation of the city's landscape during that era. The image showcases a panoramic view of the bustling town, with its winding roads, buildings, and rooftops, all bathed in the soft gray tones of the lithotint process. The foreground is dominated by the grand St. Petersburg Hotel, where Raffet is believed to have taken this view from its balcony. The scene is alive with activity, as horse-drawn carts and groups of men can be seen traversing the streets below. In the distance, the city's expansive rooftops merge into the horizon, while the road network weaves intricately through the urban fabric. The artist's masterful use of perspective and shading creates a sense of depth and dimension, transporting the viewer back in time to this historic moment. Raffet's "View of Yassy Taken from the Balcony of the St. Petersburg Hotel, Moldavia, July 19, 1837" is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 19th century. This artwork is now part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
