- Abstract:
- This article analyzes representations of cities in two pictures created around 1600: Theodor de Bry’s engraving of Macao, and the views of Kyoto attributed to Iwasa Katsumochi Matabei. The relationship between fragmented and total forms of repre- sentation is studied in both pictures. The European engraving depicts urban space as a whole, while the Japanese painting portrays a number of fragmentary scenes separated by golden clouds. However, the global picture in the European print is fragmented by the multiplication of simultaneous perspectives, while the Japanese screen displays underlying global order due to its cavalier projection. In both cases there is interaction between fragmentary views and a global outlook that relate in diverse ways.
