Riverscape with a Double Bridge 1555 - 1575

Lucas Gassel's "Riverscape with a Double Bridge," a 16th-century engraving, features a complex architectural scene with a double-layered bridge spanning a river. The intricate detail and use of perspective are characteristic of Northern Renaissance art, and the piece showcases Gassel's skill as an engraver. This architectural fantasy depicts a bustling cityscape with ships and people navigating the waterway, reflecting the dynamism of the era. The engraving is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
