"View from Pirna: Pirna from the South Side View, with Fortifications and Oberstar (Gate), and Sun Stone Fort" is a notable 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 landscape paintings, that Bellotto created during his time in the German town of Pirna, located near Dresden, in the mid-18th century.

Bernardo Bellotto (1721–1780), the nephew and pupil of the famous Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto, was renowned for his precision and skill in capturing the architectural details and atmospheric effects of the urban landscapes he painted. Bellotto's work in Pirna was commissioned by Augustus III of Poland, who was also the Elector of Saxony, during a period when the artist was employed at the Saxon court.

The painting in question, "View from Pirna," is a testament to Bellotto's mastery in rendering the intricate details of the town's architecture and fortifications, as well as the natural landscape that surrounds it. The composition typically features a panoramic view of Pirna, showcasing the town's buildings, the Elbe River, and the strategic fortifications that were significant during the period. The inclusion of the Oberstar (Gate) and the Sun Stone Fort (Sonnenstein Fortress) is particularly notable, as these landmarks were key elements of the town's defenses.

Bellotto's work is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a use of light and shadow that imbues his paintings with a sense of realism and depth. His vedute of Pirna are considered important historical records of the town's appearance in the 18th century, as well as significant works of art that reflect the cultural and political importance of urban landscapes in the period.

Today, Bellotto's paintings of Pirna, including "View from Pirna," are highly valued for their artistic merit and historical significance. They provide a fascinating glimpse into the past and are celebrated for their contribution to the genre of landscape painting. The works are held in various art collections and museums around the world, where they continue to be studied and admired by art historians and the public alike.
