This etching by the French artist Israel Silvestre (1621–1691) depicts the Ponte Nomentano bridge in Rome. Silvestre was known for his detailed architectural drawings and topographical views. This particular work, likely dating to 1631-1717, showcases the bridge's structure and surrounding landscape. The etching's small size (137 mm x 152 mm) suggests it was likely part of a larger series of prints about Roman architecture. Silvestre's detailed depiction of the Ponte Nomentano provides valuable insights into the city's architectural landscape during this period.
