A view of Vienna by Caneletto in 1758/61. Stephensdom is visible in the centre; still contained behind the city walls. With the threat of Turkish invasion extinguished baroque churches, museums, and palaces started to appear outside the constraints of the central city. The Karlskirche can be seen on the far left of the image and the foreground scene depicts the Belvedere Palace and its formal gardens.
