EDITORS COMMENTS
The Ponte Sant'Angelo and Houses on the East Bank of the Tiber," is a stunning depiction by the renowned French artist Joseph-Marie Vien the Elder. Created between 1744 and 1750, this graphite drawing on laid paper offers a captivating glimpse into the Baroque era, showcasing the iconic Ponte Sant'Angelo bridge and the houses lining the eastern bank of the River Tiber in Rome, Italy. The Ponte Sant'Angelo, also known as the Bridge of Angels, is a neoclassical masterpiece that spans the Tiber River and connects the historic center of Rome with the Castel Sant'Angelo. This ancient bridge, first built in 134 AD, has been a significant landmark throughout history and is adorned with angels and statues, symbolizing the protection of the city. In this exquisite drawing, Vien the Elder captures the essence of the bridge and the houses on the eastern bank, their grey silhouettes standing out against the white buildings and the clear, blue sky. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the bridge's arches, the winding pathways, and the individual windows and balconies of the houses. This print is a testament to Vien's mastery of the graphite medium and his ability to convey the timeless beauty of Rome during the Baroque era. It is a must-see for art enthusiasts, historians, and anyone with an appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of Italy." The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is proud to exhibit this remarkable piece, which is a valuable addition to its extensive collection of European art from the 18th century. This print invites us to explore the history, culture, and artistic achievements of this period and to appreciate the enduring allure of Rome as a source of inspiration for generations of artists.
