"Courtyard of the Castle at Königstein from the South" is a significant 18th-century oil painting by the Italian artist Bernardo Bellotto, who was also known as Canaletto. This masterpiece is one of a series of views of the Königstein Fortress commissioned by Augustus III of Poland, for whom Bellotto worked as a court painter. The painting, which measures 132 cm × 236 cm, is renowned for its meticulous detail, atmospheric perspective, and the artist's masterful rendering of light and shadow.

Completed in 1756-1758, the artwork depicts the Königstein Fortress, a historic stronghold located in Saxony, Germany, which served as a state prison and a residence for the electors of Saxony. Bellotto's painting captures the grandeur and architectural complexity of the fortress, providing a glimpse into the daily life within its walls through the inclusion of figures going about their activities.

The painting is celebrated for its technical precision and the artist's ability to convey the textures of the fortress's stonework, the expansive courtyard, and the vast Saxon landscape in the background. Bellotto's work is often compared to that of his uncle and mentor, Giovanni Antonio Canal (Canaletto), with whom he shares a name and whose influence is evident in his vedute—detailed, large-scale cityscape paintings.

"Courtyard of the Castle at Königstein from the South" is not only an important work in Bellotto's oeuvre but also a valuable historical document, as it preserves the appearance of the Königstein Fortress before the alterations that occurred in later centuries. The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered a prime example of 18th-century European veduta painting. It is part of a collection of Bellotto's works that can be found in various museums and galleries around the world, contributing to the understanding of European landscape painting and the cultural heritage of the period.
