Artistic San Francisco Notecard Set

San Francisco is famous for its picturesque neighborhoods and attractions—from bustling Chinatown to the beloved Golden Gate Bridge. But even before these iconic symbols of the city took shape, San Francisco's rugged topography and fog-shrouded coast served as a beacon for artists. Landscape artists were drawn to the idyllic natural beauty of the Bay Area in the early 19th century, and as San Francisco grew into a metropolis and now-famous landmark buildings and bridges appeared, more artists came to record the vibrant city and its unique setting. This selection of prints and paintings drawn from permanent collection of the Fine Arts Museums pays tribute to the sites, scenery, and topography of San Francisco seen through the eyes of the artists.
