The '''View of the Pestsäule, the Plague Column''' is a significant historical artwork that commemorates Vienna's deliverance from the devastating plague of 1679. Commissioned by Emperor Leopold I, the column stands as a testament to the city's resilience and the Baroque era's artistic response to such calamities. The Pestsäule, also known as the Plague Column, is a notable example of public art devised by the Jesuits, who played a crucial role in its conceptualization, reflecting the religious and spiritual sentiments of the time.

The execution of the Pestsäule was a collaborative effort involving several prominent artists of the period. Matthias Rauchmiller, a sculptor known for his dynamic figures and expressive style, initially began work on the column. However, following his death, the project was taken over by Lodovico Burnacini, an Italian theatre engineer and painter, who contributed to the design and architectural elements of the monument. The final realization of the column was overseen by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, one of the most important architects and sculptors of the Baroque period in Austria, who is credited with completing the Pestsäule and giving it its distinctive form.

Salomon Kleiner, an engraver and draftsman, created a detailed representation of the Pestsäule, capturing its intricate design and the grandeur of its presence in the heart of Vienna. His work provides a valuable visual document of the column, offering insights into the artistic and cultural significance of the monument. The ''View of the Pestsäule, the Plague Column'' by Salomon Kleiner is not only an important piece of art historical documentation but also serves as a reminder of the city's historical experience with the plague and the collective memory encapsulated within the column's ornate sculptures and allegorical figures.

The Pestsäule remains a prominent feature in Vienna's Graben street, continuing to draw the attention of both residents and visitors alike. Its rich iconography and historical context make it a subject of ongoing scholarly interest and a key example of the interplay between art, religion, and society in the Baroque period.
