A limpid, clear 18th-century engraving of Dresden with the Augustus Bridge, by Bernardo Bellotto. Prominent is the great river Elbe, which divides the city, joined by the historic Augustus Bridge reflected in the river. On the right the church can be admired, while in the foreground, on the opposite bank, there are boats. But the central theme of the painting is the Augustus Bridge with its fine, mighty Roman arches, firmly linking the two banks of the Elbe.
Bellotto has painted the sky in pale shades, with a few clouds. The picture is undated. It is one of the 14 views of the city of Dresden that Bellotto painted during one of his stays.
