The History of Architecture Paintings

Architectural paintings have a rich history dating back to the Renaissance, when artists began to depict buildings with increasing accuracy and attention to detail. These artworks often served to celebrate human achievement in construction and urban development. Renaissance masters like Canaletto popularised this genre, producing detailed views of Venice, Rome, and London. Their paintings emphasised perspective, depth, and realistic architectural detail.

During the Baroque period, artists like Giovanni Paolo Panini created grand depictions of ancient Roman ruins, combining idealised settings with historical architecture. In the 19th century, Romanticism prompted a shift, where ruined castles, monasteries, and Gothic buildings became a popular subject. J.M.W. Turner was notable for creating atmospheric paintings of architecture, where the buildings punctuated the emotive landscapes.

Today, architectural painting continues to evolve, blending realism with abstraction to create new perspectives on ever-changing cities. In contemporary times, architectural art is frequently used to express ideas about urban transformation or to provide social commentary.

British artist Jill Barthope’s architectural oil paintings burst with vibrancy as she captures the fleeting moments of nature in the city. In Evelyn Gardens (2014) trees bloom next to a redbrick flat block. Rapid brushstrokes and thick, flat planes of colour evoke the light glancing off the foliage on a spring day.

For a more abstract approach to urban landscapes, explore the printwork of Wayne Sleeth. Sleeth’s Impressionism-inspired style uses oil to crystallise the passing interplay of daylight on buildings of the city. In Cathédrale No. 22 (2020) a gothic cathedral shimmers in a dreamscape of summer light – a fantastical synthesis of architecture and nature.

For a more contemporary approach to urban architectural paintings, emerging artist Bianca MacCall’s work explores the haunting emptiness of public space. Dreamlike and unsettling, familiar yet surreal, artworks like Perpetual Motion (2023) play with perspective and modern buildings, centring a lone man in a confusion of glass and metal.
