Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Canaletto’s View preserves the view depicted in famed 18th-century painter Canaletto's masterpiece "Dresden from the Right Bank of the Elbe Below the Augustus Bridge," painted in 1748. The masterpiece is known for its gorgeous depiction of Dresden's skyline, immortalized by the landscape painter whose real name was Bernardo Bellotto. Visitors can reach the view by crossing the river Elbe at the Augustusbrücke and turning immediately left, where they will find a metal image frame depicting the spot of the painting's completion in front of the Hotel Bellevue. Several buildings depicted in the painting can be seen today, including the city's 1743 Frauenkirche and Katholische Hofkirche churches.
