The tradition of city and townscape paintings may go back to ancient Rome, but it is still a theme being explored by today's artists. The beauty of the genre lies in its multitude of variations - from bustling streets where the buildings are mere backgrounds for the people going about their everyday lives, to artworks where the architecture is the sole subject. City and townscapes may depict main thorofares or they can show the grittier side of a metropolitan area. On top of these perspectives you also will find the artist painting any and all types of weather.
