Gezicht op een antieke brug bij Tivoli 1643

"Gezicht op een antieke brug bij Tivoli" (View of an Ancient Bridge near Tivoli) is a 1643 etching by Dutch artist Israel Silvestre, renowned for his landscape drawings. This small work, currently at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a bridge, partially in ruins, crossing a river in a picturesque setting. The scene is characterized by a hilly landscape with foliage and a tower-like structure in the distance. The etching is rendered in a delicate and detailed style, capturing the nuances of light and shadow that define Silvestre’s work.
