Bernardo Bellotto: A Master of 18th Century Views and Capriccios Bernardo Bellotto, an Italian painter active in Europe during the 18th century, left an indelible mark on the art world with his stunning views and architectural capriccios. His works transport us to various locales across Europe, from the grandeur of Nymphenburg Palace in Munich (c. 1761) to the picturesque Al Dolo in Venice (between c. 1741 and c. 1743). Bellotto's keen eye for detail is evident in his depictions of Pirna with the Fortress of Sonnenstein (1755 / 1765) and the View of Munich from Haidhausen with the river Isar in the center (1761). His ability to capture the essence of a place is further showcased in his paintings of Lobkowitzplatz (Lobkowitz Square) in Vienna (1759-1760) and the architectural capriccio (ca 1765). Bellotto's talent extended beyond mere landscapes. His paintings of the Fortress of Konigstein: Courtyard with the Magdalenenburg (1756-1758) and The Fortress of Konigstein (1756-1758) demonstrate his mastery of architectural representation. From the bustling streets of Venice, as seen in The Campo di SS. Giovanni e Paolo (1743 / 1747), to the tranquil beauty of Vaprio d Adda (1744), Bernardo Bellotto's works offer a glimpse into the Europe of the past. His legacy continues to inspire and captivate art lovers around the world.
