Berglandschap met een brug over een rivier 1840 - 1868

Johannes Tavenraat's "Berglandschap met een brug over een rivier" is a delicate pencil drawing from the 1840s to 1860s, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a picturesque landscape, showcasing a bridge spanning a river, with towering mountains in the background. The artist, known for his landscape sketches, captured the beauty of the scene with simple, yet expressive lines. The drawing's simplicity and focus on the bridge, river, and mountainous scenery, are characteristic of the Romanticism movement, which celebrated nature and the power of imagination.
