Das kaiserliche Lustschloß Schloss Hof, Ehrenhofseite

Executed in oil, the canvas showcases Bellotto’s characteristic veduta technique, marked by meticulous perspective, fine brushwork, and a restrained palette. The artist’s use of light delineates the building’s stone surfaces and surrounding foliage, creating a clear, almost documentary visual record of the site.

Created in 1758, the painting entered the Kunsthistorisches Museum’s holdings as part of the imperial collection, transferred to the museum after the Habsburgs’ extensive art acquisitions were nationalized in the 19th century. It remains in the museum’s permanent display of Central European landscape paintings.
