View of Dresden with the Augustus Bridge is a 1746 oil by Johann Alexander Thiele, a Rococo painting work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
The painting shows a cityscape with a large bridge spanning a river. The bridge has many arches and is lined with buildings. In the foreground, people are gathered near the water's edge, with boats and ships in the river. The scene is set against a backdrop of a blue sky with clouds, suggesting a daytime setting. The overall atmosphere appears peaceful, with people going about their daily activities. This painting is a great example of the work of Johann Alexander Thiele, who was known for his detailed and realistic depictions of cityscapes.
Johann Alexander Thiele (1685–1752) was an artist, born in Erfurt.
