Verwoeste brug over een rivier 1940 - 1945

This black and white photograph, titled "Verwoeste brug over een rivier," is an anonymous work created between 1940 and 1945. It depicts a destroyed bridge over a river, captured from a high angle. The bridge's metal structure is broken and collapsed, partially submerged in the rushing water. The image serves as a stark reminder of the destruction wrought during World War II, offering a glimpse into the physical devastation that shaped the landscape. The photograph's composition and stark imagery evoke a sense of loss and ruin. It's currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
