Here the exact location of the creation of one of the famous views of Dresden by the Italian painter Bernado Belotto, called Canaletto, can be traced. In the middle of the 18th century, he painted a number of cityscapes here, which have had a strong impact on Dresden's reputation.

Belotto's cityscapes are unmistakable. They stand out for their almost photographic accuracy and obsession with detail.

In 1748 Bernardo Bellotto, known as Canaletto, painted Dresden from the right bank of the Elbe below the Augustenbrücke.
You can enjoy the view from the shore path.
Here is an empty "picture frame".
A photo of the Canaletto painting invites comparison.
There is also a bench next to it.
