"Vue de la Forteresse de Sonnenstein" (View of Sonnenstein Fortress) is a painting by the Italian urban landscape painter Bernardo Bellotto, known for his detailed and atmospheric views of European cities. Bellotto (1721–1780), a nephew and pupil of the famous Canaletto, was a Venetian artist who became a court painter in Dresden, Warsaw, and Vienna, bringing with him the tradition of vedute, a genre of highly detailed, usually large-scale paintings of cityscapes or vistas.

This particular work depicts the Sonnenstein Fortress, a historic building located in Pirna, near Dresden, Germany. The fortress, originally a medieval castle, was transformed into a stronghold during the Renaissance and later served various purposes, including acting as a hospital and a notorious Nazi euthanasia center during World War II. In Bellotto's time, it would have been recognized as a symbol of the region's military strength and historical significance.

Bellotto's painting is characterized by his meticulous attention to architectural detail and his use of light and shadow to create depth and realism. The "Vue de la Forteresse de Sonnenstein" would have been painted during Bellotto's time in the court of Dresden, where he was commissioned to produce views of the city and its surroundings. His works from this period are notable for their accuracy; Bellotto often used a camera obscura to achieve precise perspective and detail.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing a visual record of the landscape and architecture of 18th-century Saxony. Bellotto's work captures the grandeur of the Sonnenstein Fortress and the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape, offering a window into the past and the courtly life of the time.

As with many of Bellotto's paintings, "Vue de la Forteresse de Sonnenstein" would likely be held in high esteem by art historians and collectors alike, and it would be exhibited in a museum or gallery where the public could appreciate its historical and artistic context. The work contributes to our understanding of European landscape painting and the cultural heritage of the region it depicts.
