Dresden, the Florence of the Elbe
Nicknamed the “Florence of the Elbe”, Dresden is one of the most emblematic cities of German art and culture. Located on the riverbank, surrounded by lush hills, the capital of Saxony has fascinated for centuries with its architectural elegance and gentle light. Before being rebuilt after the war, it was one of Europe's greatest artistic centers, attracting painters, sculptors, and patrons from around the world.
Through this collection, Artem Legrand pays tribute to Dresden, as immortalized by Canaletto (Bernardo Bellotto), Caspar David Friedrich, Johan Christian Dahl, Ludwig Richter, and also Carl Gustav Carus. These artists captured the grandeur and serenity of this Elbe city, blending Italian light with German romanticism.

The great masters of Dresden
Canaletto (Bernardo Bellotto) (1722–1780) painted Dresden with almost photographic precision. His views of the Elbe bridge and the Frauenkirche remain among the most famous representations of the city.
Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840), a figure of German romanticism, lived and worked in Dresden. His meditative landscapes, bathed in spiritual light, express the poetic soul of the North.
Johan Christian Dahl, a Norwegian painter based in Dresden, was his friend and artistic companion, sharing his taste for misty horizons and Saxon mountains.
Carl Gustav Carus combined science and painting, exploring the relationship between man and nature through compositions of deep sensitivity.
Finally, Ludwig Richter (1803–1884) depicted daily life and landscapes of Saxony with tenderness and realism.
Together, these artists made Dresden a major hub of romanticism and European landscape painting.
