View of Pillnitz Castle is an 1823 landscape painting by the Norwegian artist Johan Christian Dahl. It depicts a view of the baroque Pillnitz Castle outside Dresden on the River Elbe. Dahl had long since settled in the city, and worked on romantic landscapes in the same style as his friend Caspar David Friedrich. The painting's unusual composition is comes from the the scene being view through an opened window. It is implied that it is seen from the artist's studio in the city, although Pillnitz is in fact located several miles upriver. In his delicate depiction of the case Dahl had to use the technique of a miniaturist

Today the painting is in the collection of the Museum Folkwang in Essen.
