With beautiful original hand colouring. Size (excl. text): 38,2 \u00d7 58,6 cm.<\/p>\n<p>From the vantage of Lucerne\u2019s G\u00fctsch hill, this panoramic 19th-century print invites you to explore a city at the crossroads of old and new. French artist Michel Charles Fichot, working with Swiss lithographer Th\u00e9odore M\u00fcller, created this view in a time when Lucerne was transforming from a walled medieval town into a modern travel and tourist hub. The scene blends centuries-old landmarks with cutting-edge innovations of the era, reflecting a city in dynamic change.<\/p>\n<p>In the foreground, the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kapellbr%C3%BCcke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kapellbr\u00fccke<\/a> and its sturdy Wasserturm (water tower) stretch across the River Reuss. This 14th-century covered wooden bridge \u2013 today the symbol of Lucerne \u2013 once formed part of the town\u2019s fortifications. Just beyond, on the river\u2019s left bank, stands the graceful <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jesuit_Church,_Lucerne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jesuit Church<\/a> with its twin onion-domed towers. Built in 1666\u201377 as Switzerland\u2019s first Baroque church, it adds an elegant Baroque flourish to the skyline. Rising behind the rooftops is the long <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myswitzerland.com\/en\/experiences\/musegg-wall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Musegg Wall<\/a> with its nine watchtowers, forming a striking crown around Lucerne\u2019s Old Town. These medieval ramparts, largely intact, remind us of the city\u2019s fortified past.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, along the lakefront at the foot of the image, you can spot signs of Lucerne\u2019s new railway age. The city\u2019s first train station (opened in 1856) sat by the water\u2019s edge, where steam trains and lake steamers met. The train in this lithograph, in the front right, symbolizes the progress that connected Lucerne to Europe\u2019s growing rail network. With the arrival of the railroad, travel times plummeted and visitor numbers soared. By the late 19th century, Lucerne had blossomed into one of Switzerland\u2019s first grand tourist resorts. Luxury hotels sprang up, and illustrious visitors (including Queen Victoria in 1868) came to savor the views.<\/p>\n<p>Those natural views are the final wonder of Fichot\u2019s panorama. The placid blue expanse of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lake_Lucerne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lake Lucerne<\/a> (Vierwaldst\u00e4ttersee) stretches into the distance, cradled by mountains. To the left, the rugged profile of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pilatus_(mountain)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mount Pilatus<\/a> looms \u2013 its peak often wreathed in legend and cloud. On the right horizon stands <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rigi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mount Rigi<\/a>, the \u201cQueen of the Mountains,\u201d which soon would host Europe\u2019s first mountain railway in 1871. Together, these alpine giants frame the city\u2019s skyline, just as they framed the dreams of Victorian-era travelers. In Fichot\u2019s time, such scenery \u2013 a sparkling lake surrounded by snow-capped peaks \u2013 was exactly what drew tourists to Lucerne. This lithograph brilliantly captures that allure, pairing historic charm with breathtaking landscape. Visitors gazing at this print today can imagine themselves on G\u00fctsch hill over 150 years ago, taking in the timeless beauty and changing fortunes of Lucerne.<\/p>\n<p>Price: Euro 1.650,-<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MAGNIFICENT VIEW OF LUCERNE &#8220;Vue g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de Lucerne.
