Rudolphe Ritter von Alt painted this view of a street in Vienna, where he died, March 12th 1905, aged 92.

Rudolph was born in Vienna on August 28th 1812.  “His father, Jakob Alt, the son of a carpenter, was a German landscape painter and lithographer who was born in Frankfurt am Main in 1789 where he received his first artistic tuition and later moved to Vienna where he enrolled at the city’s Academy of Fine Arts. “

Below is View from the Artist’s Studio in Alservorstadt toward Dornbach by Jakob Alt (1836)
