Was looking for something and got sucked into this black hole again. Found 18th/19th c. images of the areas in Rome where I lived and went to school as a kid, and where my grandparents worked—blows my mind to see all the modern layers magically erased from these familiar placespic.twitter.com/n0M6hSsyHu
It's beautiful and great, but I'm balking a little at the website's equation of "before 1900" and "before the camera", since an exploration of the coexistence and reciprocal influences of the watercolours and photography would have been very interesting.
I know what you mean and agree, but I think they're just trying to stress the fact that for a very long time watercolours were the main and most accurate medium to document the world (and a lot of the images on the site actually do predate photography, and def. portable cameras)
Nice though an oil paint version would be great!
That would severely restrict the scope of the project - watercolour is the perfect medium for documentary work because it's quick and portable, hence its extensive use. There simply wouldn't be enough material, especially from more remote locations.
