Pont Saint-Benezet, Avignon 1919

"Pont Saint-Benezet, Avignon" is a 1919 print by Scottish artist Ian Strang (1886-1952), depicting the famous medieval bridge in Avignon. The artwork showcases Strang's masterful use of etching, capturing the bridge's crumbling grandeur and the serene beauty of the Rhone River. Strang's work, often influenced by the Impressionists, conveys the atmosphere of the French landscape through subtle tonal variations and a focus on light and shadow. This piece is a striking example of his ability to translate the physical world into evocative, artistic expression.
