    Subject: Antique Engraving. Madrid. Optical View.

    Publication: Paris, Chez Daumont, c.1780.

    Measurements: 32 x 46 cm.

    Technique: Copperplate engraving.

    Notes: Exquisite 18th-century optical view, hand-colored at the time. This is an original copperplate engraving on laid paper, illuminated with watercolor. Published by Daumont and Lachousse in Paris around 1780, it depicts an impressive view of the Puerta del Sol in Madrid.

    During the 18th century, cities like Paris, London, Augsburg, and Bassano became production centers for these fascinating optical views. These works could be appreciated in various ways: directly, through a zograscope (a device with a lens that magnified the image and enhanced perspective), or inside optical boxes, where the viewer observed through a lens.

    This form of entertainment was very popular in the salons of the bourgeoisie and nobility, as well as in rural areas, thanks to traveling salesmen who carried them.

    Optical views are considered an important antecedent of pre-cinema, as they played with visual perception and the illusion of depth.

    Conservation: Good condition.
