Rudolf (von) Alt malte und aquarellierte Menschen, Landschaften, Dörfer und Städte in den Kronländern der Habsburger Monarchie, auf der Krim, in Italien und in Deutschland. Mit seinen Bildern dokumentierte er auch Wiens Wandel zur Weltstadt von den 1820er-Jahren bis zum Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Stefan Oláh fotografiert Architektur, Lebens- und Kulturräume vom Himalaya bis Brasilien – und in Wien. In Alt Wien Neu werden Bilder Rudolf (von) Alts und Fotografien von Stefan Oláh einander gegenübergestellt. Die Positionen der Künstler sind fast die gleichen, ebenso die Blickrichtungen. Die Motive sind ähnlich – oder sie sind es auch nicht. Der Historiker Leonhard Weidinger leitet die Bildpaare mit kenntnisreichen Texten zu den Gebäuden, ihrer Geschichte und ihrer Umgebung ein.

Rudolf (von) Alt painted people, landscapes, villages and towns in the countries of the Habsburg monarchy as well as in Crimea, Italy and Germany. In his pictures, he also documented the emergence of Vienna as a cosmopolitan city between the 1820s and the beginning of the 20th century. Stefan Oláh photographs architecture and living and cultural environments from the Himalayas to Brazil – and in Vienna. In this publication, paintings by Rudolf (von) Alt are juxtaposed with photographs by Stefan Oláh. The artists’ positions – and their lines of sight - are almost identical. Their motifs are similar – or not. The historian Leonhard Weidinger introduces the pairs of images with richly informative texts about the buildings, their history and their surroundings.
