Welcome to Cosmographia. The following is part of the World in Paint series. For the full map of Cosmographia posts, see here.

Iconic Landmarks

St. Paul’s Cathedral — Canaletto (1754)

Canaletto shows why he’s such a master of architectural painting as he captures the sharp lines of London’s most iconic cathedral.

The Palace of Westminster from the Thames — John MacVicar Anderson (1867)

Anderson has captured the London weather so uncannily in this scene. Head towards the South Bank at dusk to catch the light striking Big Ben in this way.
