View of Warsaw from the Royal Palace (detail)
by BELLOTTO, Bernardo, Oil on canvas
In front of the palace the terrace on the Vistula can be seen. Both on the staircase and the terrace the spectator’s attention is attracted by numerous small figures. In the middle of the terrace there is a riding school, with a young man receiving a riding lesson, and on the right a sculptor’s workshop is seen. The lighted Lubomirski Palace below the terrace on the left forms the transition to the middle distance.
