Panorama of the Danube near Grinzing Possibly 1790

"Panorama of the Danube near Grinzing" is a pencil drawing by Austrian artist Martin von Molitor, created around 1790. The artwork depicts a picturesque view of the Danube River winding through a landscape of rolling hills, forests, and a distant town. A lone figure on horseback is positioned in the foreground, adding a sense of scale and inviting the viewer to contemplate the vastness of the scene. The detailed rendering of the natural elements and the overall sense of tranquility reflect the artistic conventions of the 18th century, a period marked by a renewed interest in depicting the beauty of the natural world. The artwork is a testament to Molitor's talent as a landscape artist and his ability to capture the essence of a specific place and time.
