View of Dresden by Moonlight

View of Dresden by Moonlight is a 1839 landscape painting by the Norwegian artist Johan Christian Dahl. Dahl settled in the Saxon capital Dresden where, along with Caspar David Friedrich, he was known for his romantic landscapes. The night view of the city features a number of notable landmarks silhouetted by the River Elbe including the Frauenkirche, Dresden Cathedral and the Augustus Bridge.
The work is today in the collection of the Galerie Neue Meister in Dresden, having been acquired in 1937. Dahl had previously produced an 1823 work Dresden in the Moonlight, now in a private collection.
