Classic paintings of world cities meet Google Street View – in pictures | Cities | theguardian.com:

Something I have wondered about for a long time--overlaying an artist's vision on the top of a photographic image. It is interesting how well some of the images work, but one wonders all the same about the accuracy of the perspective or the location of the viewer (artist or camera).

But the point of view that we have now is the automobile's view from the street. And one realizes how much has been lost with the taking over of cities with cars.
