The two pictures match because they are both pictures of the same place (The Brooklyn Bridge). Although the picture I took is a slightly more zoomed in then the painting, it is taken from the same angle and has the same vanishing point. In both pictures you can see two pairs of arches. The street lights are also in the same exact positions in the two pictures. In the Hassam painting the walkway appears wider then in the picture I took and you can’t see any background buildings.
Very nice alignment to match the artist view point. You even found the lamp post. Please differentiate between a painting and a photograph. Let us know what you were looking for to make this possible after 100 years.
