I'm amazed at the sheer devastation of the church and the buildings to its left. I had no idea that level of destruction in war was possible before conventional explosives.
Well, when you hit things really hard with massive iron balls, the things you hit tend to break.
That's a section from The Ruins of the old Kreuzkirche, Dresden (1765). The church has been destroyed during the Seven Years' War (1756 – 1763). Wikimedia Commons
Thanks for the info, unfortunately that link doesn't seem to work for me.
My Lemmy client can't open it either, as the address ends with .jpg, but opening the link in a browser works fine.
Damn, that's Bellotto's best yet in this space, and there's been more than a few of them, so that's no faint praise.
The depth and lighting is breathtaking
