Italian Landscape with the Ponte Lucano over the Aniene River — Jan Both

Jan Both. Painted c. 1650 - 1652.

Jan Both (c. 1615 - 1652). Italian landscape with the Ponte Molle, c. 1650. The atmosphere of this idyllic landscape is typically Italian. The lush green of the trees and plants creates a lively impression, as does the small group of travellers by the river, bathed in warm sunlight. On the left we see the Ponte Molle, a well-known bridge in the Roman campagna. Both painted many of such scenes, in which a zigzag motion of river and roads leads the viewer's eye into the depths. On copper. Purchased in 1809, as part of the Van Heteren Gevers collection (The Hague)

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
