Bernardo Bellotto's etching, *Vue des Remparts de Sonnenstein* (View of the Ramparts of Sonnenstein), showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail and his skill in rendering architectural scenes. The print depicts a panoramic view of the city of Pirna, Germany, with the Sonnenstein fortress prominently featured in the foreground. The etching, characterized by its precise lines and tonal gradations, creates a sense of depth and realism, capturing the city's fortifications and the surrounding landscape. Bellotto was known for his vedute (city views) and his work reflects the 18th-century interest in documenting urban landscapes with accuracy and precision.
