Description: | Scutari is in modern-day Albania. Thomas Allom travelled very widely, and his views were often engraved for books of exotic views, which were popular at this time. For this picture, the artist first made a careful pencil drawing in front of his subject. The ink outline, the figures and the colouring would have been added later in the studio. The figures were probably grouped from various sketches made previously, and help to convey the huge scale of the mosque. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1830 to 1860 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Allom | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
