"Plate 37: View of the Church of San Bartolomeo all'Isola on Tiber Island, Rome, flanked by bridges" is a 1606 etching by Aegidius Sadeler II. This detailed print captures the picturesque scene of the church, a prominent landmark on Tiber Island, as viewed from the river, showing two bridges leading to the island. This is one of the plates from Sadeler's series 'Vestigi della antichità di Roma, Tivoli, Pozzvolo et altri luochi' (Ruins of the antiquity of Rome, Tivoli, Pozzuoli, and other places), documenting the architectural and historical landmarks of Italy. The meticulous use of line and shadow in this etching create a sense of depth and realism, highlighting the architectural details and the bustling scene of the time.
