What do you mean - "tourist art"??

Tourists have become run down in Pompeii since the end of XVIII century, at first, mainly British. By the beginning of XX century (at that time, I think, was written in your study) Pompeii became a place of pilgrimage for tourists from all over the world. Everyone wanted to take a souvenir type Pompey. Here local artists and meet this demand "for species". But the demand was great: a) Italy - a country known for its artists, b) Genre cityscape (Veduta) was born in Italy, and c) better bring home the "work of art" than a photograph. Why then was the picture black and white. Although, since 1903, began to develop and a color photo (at that time appeared on the market records "Autochrome" Lumière), but worth it if far more than the picture, made by a local artist who wrote quickly, without zamorachivayas nor with the composition or the color (you have color, however, is not so bad). Signed they almost always put illegible. Undemanding tourist crowd this painting was good enough. I think that it is, and Pompei is the birthplace of the term "tourist art", which is now rampant throughout the world - from Paris to St. Petersburg.

But we must still say that there were prominent artists, create urban landscapes of high artistic value. All is not listed, just for instance the names come Canaletto (Italy, Venice), Laloy and Blanchard (Paris).
