Venetian Landscapes in Museum Collections. The general interest in the Italian landscape gave rise to a distinctive artistic genre, il vedutismo, or the art of Italian landscape, which created remarkable works of art. The paintings, engravings and drawings of Italian space enjoyed a great deal of appreciation everywhere, especially in 18th and 19th centuries. The tourist market has transformed landscaping into a prosperous business involving painters, engravers, printers and publishers. Obviously, most of the landscapes were dedicated to Venice. Thus, the National Museum of Transylvanian History in Cluj-Napoca has among its Graphic Collections a series of emblematic images through which the spectacular Venetian landscape unfolds before the eyes.

Keywords: Venice, engraving, heritage, veduta.
