"View of Vienna, square in front of the university, seen from the southeast off the great hall of the University" is an 18th century veduta by Bernardo Bellotto, showcasing the grandeur of Vienna's university buildings. This detailed cityscape captures the University's architecture, with its ornate facade and imposing presence, and the bustling square in front of it. The painting depicts the square and the surrounding buildings with an almost photographic accuracy, making it a valuable historical document of 18th-century Vienna. This painting, a prime example of veduta, offers a glimpse into the urban life of the period, featuring carriages, pedestrians, and the grandeur of the university. It is currently housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.
