This intricate artwork, measuring 150.5 x 20 cm, can be found at the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. The painting showcases an idealized vision of the Middle Ages, with its towering walls and picturesque cityscapes. The artist skillfully incorporates various iconic landmarks from different Italian cities into one harmonious composition. We can spot elements such as the facade of S. Rufino in Assisi, Princes Palace Urbino, Fontana Maggiore and city hall of Perugia. Ahlborn's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously recreates each structure with precision and accuracy. From the main gate reminiscent of Castel Nuovo in Naples to the aqueduct resembling Spoleto's engineering marvels, every element adds depth and authenticity to this historical panorama. This German artist masterfully captures not only the architecture but also infuses life into his work through figures scattered throughout the scene. These characters evoke a sense of bustling activity within these medieval towns.
