In August 1944 the Second World War raged. The city of Dresden had been almost completely destroyed by Allied air raids. The fact that today's capital of Saxony could be rebuilt is due, among other things, to one man: Bernardo Bellotto.
Born in Venice at the beginning of the 1720s, the man, also known as Canaletto, was soon drawn into the wide world. Painting was practically in his cradle. His uncle Giovanni Canal was also an artist. Canaletto is known above all for his numerous vedute. In realistic depictions he painted numerous city views. Besides Vienna, Bernardo Bellotto worked mainly in Dresden. At the end of the 1740s he became court painter of the Saxon elector and Polish king Friedrich August II. At this time he created a Dresden cycle consisting of 14 vedute. Commissioned by the Elector, Bellotto painted, for example, the view of Dresden from the right bank of the Elbe above AugustusbrĂĽcke. This cycle continued until 1754 and was used as a model for the reconstruction of the bombed city almost 190 years later. In this way the old town could be reconstructed almost in detail. In addition, Bernardo Bellotto also painted views of Nymphenburg Palace for the Bavarian Elector Maximilian III Joseph, for example. His further career finally led him to the Warsaw court. After several years of work at the so-called Kunstdepartemnet, Canaletto died in Warsaw in 1780.
