Jan Josef Dietzler (1694–1744). Zemský měřič, kartograf a vedutista

Dietzler’s most well-known work is Maria Theresa’s coronation album (1743), often overshadowing everything else. The study gives a summary overview of Dietzler’s work activities (as land surveyor, cartographer and veduta painter) and also uncovers a certain uniqueness to his works – Dietzler managed to go beyond the borders of his craft to reach for a more comprehensive capturing of the landscape of towns and villages: with plan, map and veduta.
