Rudolf von Alt
(Vienna 1812–1905)
The Fleischmarkt in Vienna with the Greek-Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity, signed and dated R. Alt (1)859, watercolour, opaque white on paper, 20 x 14 cm, passepartout, framed
Compare:
Walter Koschatzky, Rudolf von Alt 1812–1905, Salzburg 1975, CR 59/22 (Inside View), 60/18, 65/12.
This watercolour seems to be the model for the steel engraving by F. Würthle, which was published by Paterno in Vienna around 1860. Another lithograph (by X. Sandmann for L. T. Neumann, no date) with the same subject seems to be based on the undated pencil drawing by Rudolf von Alt in the Wien Museum (inventory no. 30531).
The predecessor of the Greek Orthodox Church was remodelled by Theophil von Hansen in 1856-1861 at the behest of Georg Simon von Sina. It is difficult to say when the porch with the octagonal tower and the dome was actually completed. It is possible that Rudolf von Alt “visualised” the church according to the architect’s plans and designs. This approach can be observed time and again in Rudolf von Alt’s watercolours.
We are grateful to Dr. Maria Luise Sternath for the scholarly advice.
