Seeks work in Bayreuth
Bellotto received permission to enter Bayreuth, probably on the recommendation of the architect and stage designer Giuseppe Galli Bibiena, whom he had known in Dresden. He apparently failed to find work there.

Moves to Vienna, to the court of Maria Theresa
Bellotto moved to Vienna and stayed there a little over two years. He had accepted Empress Maria Theresa's invitation in 1758, as his international reputation grew.
