Titelprent van een serie kerken van Wenen 1724

This title page, created in 1724 by Salomon Kleiner, advertises an illustrated collection of churches and palaces in Vienna. The elaborate script and decorative flourishes, typical of 18th-century engraving, were intended to entice viewers with the promise of beautiful and accurate depictions. Kleiner’s print highlights the architectural wealth of the Habsburg capital, a testament to the city’s thriving arts scene and impressive urban development. The print, now part of the Rijksmuseum’s collection, serves as a valuable historical document, offering insights into the cultural landscape of Vienna during this period.
