About the piece
Created around 1750, this exquisite veduta by the master Bernardo Bellotto captures the architectural splendor of the Zwinger in Dresden. The composition centers on the calm reflections of the moat and the intricate baroque facades, populated by elegantly rendered figures and swans that provide a sense of life and scale to this historical cityscape.
