"Garigliano Passage (Italy)" is an etching by Jean Jacques de Boissieu, a French artist known for his landscapes. Created in 1793, the artwork depicts a scene of rural Italy with a bridge, a river, and a distant mountain range. The composition showcases a group of people in a boat crossing the river, while figures on horseback and on foot are positioned on either side. The detailed etching style, which is characterized by fine lines and tonal variations, offers a glimpse into the landscape and daily life of the Garigliano region. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
