- Abstract
We propose to analyze a series of images in order to understand the relationship between a hill and a city through the interpretation of the panoramic view and its diverse visual derivations in the ninetwwnth century. This allows us to reflect on the role occupied by the Santa Lucia hill in Santiago de Chile, this hill being a point of confluence for nineteenth century representations of this capital city. What kind of connections between the hill and the city do these images convey? In what degree does this total and elevated view determine the comprehension and the visual construction of the city? And the other way around: in what degree does the hill shape the images of the city and convey a particular way of seeing? With this visual trajectory, we hope to answer these and other questions about the perception of space and the experience of urban landscape in the nineteenth century.
