Brug over de Rio di San Toma, Venetië c. 1914 - 1919

"Brug over de Rio di San Toma, Venetië" is a 1914-1919 etching by Dutch artist Willem Witsen. The etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a narrow canal in Venice, with a bridge arching over the water and multiple gondolas tied up along the edges. The composition is characterized by a sense of depth and perspective, with the receding lines of the canal leading the eye into the distance. Witsen was known for his atmospheric depictions of urban landscapes, and this etching captures the quiet charm of a Venetian waterway.
