"Figures by the River Elbe, Dresden" is a notable landscape painting by the Italian urban landscape painter Bernardo Bellotto, who was also known as Canaletto. This work is part of a series of vedute, or detailed large-scale paintings of cityscapes, for which Bellotto is renowned. Created in the 18th century, this particular painting captures a picturesque view of the Elbe River as it flows through Dresden, Germany, with figures populating the foreground, hence the title.

Bellotto, born in 1721 in Venice, was the nephew and pupil of the famous Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto. Under his uncle's tutelage, Bellotto developed a precise style, characterized by its meticulous attention to architectural detail and the use of strong perspective. In 1747, Bellotto was invited to Dresden by King Augustus III of Poland, where he became a court painter and produced numerous views of the city and its surroundings.

In "Figures by the River Elbe, Dresden," Bellotto's mastery of light, shadow, and atmospheric perspective is evident. The painting is a testament to his ability to combine topographical accuracy with a poetic sensibility. The figures in the foreground provide a sense of scale and everyday life, while the grandeur of the Dresden skyline, including its notable buildings and bridges, is depicted with remarkable clarity and detail.

This painting not only serves as a historical record of Dresden in the 18th century but also reflects the cultural and artistic exchange between Italy and the courts of Northern Europe during the period. Bellotto's works, including "Figures by the River Elbe, Dresden," are significant for their influence on the development of landscape painting in Europe and remain highly valued for their artistic and historical significance.
