Bernardo (1720-1780): A Master of Capturing Architectural Beauty Step into the world of Bernardo Bellotto, a renowned painter from the 18th century who left an indelible mark on art history. Born in 1720 and departing this world in 1780, his legacy lives on through his breathtaking works that immortalize iconic landmarks. One such masterpiece is "The Piazza Navona in Rome, " painted during the early 1740s. Bellotto's brushstrokes effortlessly transport us to this bustling square, capturing its vibrant atmosphere with meticulous detail. In another enchanting piece titled "The Grand Canal looking South from Ca' Foscari to the Carita, " created around 1738, Bellotto invites us to embark on a visual journey along Venice's famous waterways. The play of light and shadow casts an ethereal glow upon the scene, evoking a sense of timeless beauty. Moving northwards, we encounter "The Dresden Kreuzkirche (Church of the Cross), " completed between 1751 and 1753. Here, Bellotto showcases his ability to capture architectural grandeur as he portrays this magnificent church against a backdrop of dramatic skies. Venturing further into Germany, we find ourselves immersed in Pirna's charm through two captivating paintings: "Pirna Seen from the Harbour Town" (1753-1754) and "View of Pirna from the Sonnenstein Fortress" (1754-1755). These pieces reveal Bellotto's talent for depicting both urban landscapes and natural beauty simultaneously. Returning once more to Dresden, we witness its splendor through multiple lenses. In "Dresden seen from the left bank of Elbe river below fortifications" (1748), Bellotto captures Dresden's majesty as it stands proudly by its flowing river.
