Blick auf den Ponte Rotto, die Reste des antiken Pons Aemilius, in Rom 

This drawing by Dutch artist Jan Both depicts the Ponte Rotto, a Roman bridge in Rome. Both was a renowned painter of Italian landscapes, and this drawing showcases his skillful use of line and light to depict the bridge's architectural details and the surrounding cityscape. The drawing is characterized by its delicate hatching and shading, which creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. Though incomplete, the bridge stands as a testament to the grandeur of Roman architecture, while the surrounding buildings offer glimpses into the bustling city life of Rome during Both’s lifetime. This drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, provides a fascinating glimpse into the artistry of Jan Both and the historical context of the ancient Roman bridge.
