"Vue d'Istambul" is an 18th-century engraving by the French artist Robert Dumont-Duparc, which depicts a panoramic view of Istanbul, historically known as Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire. This artwork is significant for its detailed representation of the city's skyline, landmarks, and daily life during a period when Western interest in Oriental scenes was on the rise. The engraving is part of a larger genre of works known as "vedute," which are highly detailed, usually large-scale prints of cityscapes or other vistas.

Dumont-Duparc's work is particularly noted for its accuracy and attention to architectural detail, offering a valuable historical record of Istanbul's urban landscape in the 18th century. The engraving showcases the city's unique geographical setting, straddling the Bosphorus strait, which separates Europe and Asia. It captures the grandeur of the city's mosques, minarets, and palaces, as well as the bustling activity of its harbors and public spaces.

"Vue d'Istambul" not only serves as an important visual document for historians and art historians but also reflects the broader cultural and artistic exchanges between Europe and the Ottoman Empire during this period. The work is an example of the fascination with the "exotic" East that was prevalent among European audiences, and it contributed to the Orientalist movement in Western art.

The engraving is held in various art collections and institutions around the world and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as a source of historical information about Istanbul and the cultural perceptions of the time.
