Ponte Sul Ticino 1894

"Ponte Sul Ticino," an 1894 engraving by Giuseppe Barberis (c.1840-c.1917), depicts a stone bridge spanning the Ticino River. The detailed lines of the engraving capture the structure of the bridge, with its multiple arches and the subtle texture of the riverbed. The figures in the foreground provide a sense of scale and highlight the quiet serenity of the scene. This work exemplifies Barberis's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life.
