Alcune vedute delle Antichità di Pola di Anton August Tischbein

Presentation of a lithography by the German painter Anton August Tischbein representing the Antiquities of Pola and a series of six preparatory drawings for this artwork. Both are part of Trieste’s University art collection and they arrived there thanks to a legacy by Antonio Fonda Savio. This focus is furthermore an occasion to resume the history of Pola’s representation from XVI to XIX century and to outline the neglected biography of Anton August Tischbein.
