View of Pirna in Saxony, Bernardo Bellotto 1722–1780, oil painting, Venetian veduta city view with staffage, 2nd half of the 18th century; height 55 cm, width 75.5 cm., A panoramic scene shows a fortified stone building with red tile roofs on the right, surrounded by a stone wall and a grassy slope; a few people in period clothing sit and stand near old wooden carriages and a dirt path by the wall, and a group of trees with green foliage rises behind the wall. To the left, a town with clustered buildings and a large church with a steep dark roof stretches toward a wide river where a sailboat floats, and low hills appear on the distant horizon. The sky above is expansive with pale blue tones, soft white and gray clouds, and subtle warm hues near the horizon, while the foreground and architecture feature earthy browns, muted grays, greens, and touches of red.
