Art en Site: Greenwich

Using mobile maps to locate masterpiece art at the site it was painted, and viewing original en site (Art-en-site).  Examples of map-guided painting viewing at this map:

Paintings on South Thames

A comparison of Canaletto's painting of Greenwich Hospital shows some discrepancy in perspective; perhaps the artist shared architect Wren's low opinion of the Queen's house at center rear. That building is prominent between the 2 domes, is hardly seen in the painting.

Additional map led viewing of art en site in Borough, at St. George the Martyr church. Grimshaw painted this scene with the title "Blackman Street, London", as the south part of Borough High Street was known at that time.

The map-fed image allows the painting to be inspected on site and experience the current street scene to compare to that captured by the artist.





Low and high magnification views of the phone screen showing the map tools used to find the site and load the image. After selecting the marker for this map entry, clicking on "Details" loads the attached image of the painting.
