拍品 143 Ihn fesselte bei Santiago in starker Weise die Landschaft. Gewissenhaft zeichnete er die wichtigen Gebäude, das Palais, die Ministerien, einzelne bedeutendere Kirchen, die Hauptplätze, Strassen und Vororte, doch riss ihn stets das herrliche Panorama der Stadt mit den majestätisch aufsteigenden Bergen besonders hin.

Rugendas worked on this subject, another great iconic and nationalist image, from the first months of his stay in Chile, his celebrated view of Santiago taken from the west side of the hill of Santa Lucia, showing the city's main square, the Mapocho river to the right and the coastal mountains beyond. For the same view, taken from a little further back on the hill, with changes in the foreground figures, see Christie’s London, 25 Sept. 2003, lot 433, dated 1841 (£201,250). For smaller versions see Diener, CH-0-27 and Christie’s New York, 20-21 Nov. 2015, lot 43 ($221,000).
