"The Moat of the Zwinger in Dresden (detail) 1749-53" is a renowned painting by the Italian urban landscape painter Bernardo Bellotto, who was also known by the name Canaletto. This work is part of a series of vedute, or detailed landscape paintings, that Bellotto created during his time in Dresden, where he was court painter to the Elector of Saxony, Frederick Augustus II. The painting depicts a section of the Zwinger, an elaborate palace complex in Dresden, Germany, showcasing the moat and the architectural grandeur of the Baroque structure.

Bellotto's painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its use of light and shadow, which brings out the textures and depth of the architectural elements. The Zwinger, designed by the architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann and sculptor Balthasar Permoser, was a symbol of the prestige and power of the Saxon court, and Bellotto's work captures the opulence and scale of the complex.

The painting measures 133 x 237 cm and is part of a collection of views of the city that Bellotto produced during his stay in Dresden from 1747 to 1758. These paintings were highly valued for their topographical accuracy and served as a record of the city's appearance before the extensive damage it suffered during World War II. "The Moat of the Zwinger in Dresden (detail)" is particularly significant for its historical value, as it provides insight into the 18th-century appearance of the Zwinger, which was a central part of Dresden's cultural landscape.

Today, the painting is held in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister (Old Masters Picture Gallery) in Dresden, where it continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and historical significance. Bellotto's work is often compared to that of his uncle and mentor, Giovanni Antonio Canal (Canaletto), and is celebrated for contributing to the legacy of vedute painting in the tradition of the Venetian School.
