Brug over een waterval 1829

"Brug over een waterval" (Bridge over a waterfall) is a lithograph by Paulus Lauters from 1829. The piece depicts a stone bridge over a waterfall cascading through a narrow gorge. The bridge is crowded with figures, creating a sense of movement and life, while the surrounding mountains and dense foliage lend an air of grandeur. The artist’s use of light and shadow effectively creates a sense of depth and distance, immersing the viewer in the breathtaking landscape. The artwork exemplifies the 19th-century Romanticism movement, which often depicted nature in its raw and powerful form.
