Magere Brug in Amsterdam c. 1894 - 1895

"Magere Brug in Amsterdam" (c. 1894-1895) is an etching by Dutch artist Pieter Dupont. It depicts a bridge in Amsterdam, known as "The Skinny Bridge," from a low vantage point, emphasizing the boats below. The composition creates a sense of depth, leading the viewer's eye toward the bridge and the cityscape beyond. This print is an example of Dutch Realism, a movement that aimed to depict everyday life and scenes with accuracy. Dupont's masterful use of line creates a sense of movement and texture, capturing the intricate details of the boats and the bridge.
