Gezicht op de tuin van een paleis van de graaf van Althan te Wenen 1745 - 1775

"Gezicht op de tuin van een paleis van de graaf van Althan te Wenen" (View of the Garden of the Palace of Count Althan in Vienna) is a hand-colored etching created by Jean-François Daumont between 1745 and 1775. The artwork, now located in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a formal garden with a central, intricately patterned parterre and two identical, ornate gateways at either end. The perspective, with its focus on the central axis and symmetrical design, is characteristic of the formal gardens popular during the Rococo period. Daumont's work exemplifies the trend of landscape prints that were fashionable in 18th-century Europe, offering glimpses into the gardens of aristocratic estates.
