Bellotto's Dresden, 1750
This is Dresden at the high Baroque of Augustus III: a compact royal capital where the new stone bell-dome of the Frauenkirche crowns the Neumarkt, the Zwinger's gilded Kronentor announces court spectacle, and the Hofkirche rises in scaffolding. The walk follows river quays, palace courts, market squares and grand façades where porcelain, opera and princely pageant shape daily life.
35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Dresden as it stood in 1750 (“Dresden”).
