Sobre a pintura

A bridge crossing a verdant valley with a river flowing beneath and ruined fortification at right. A peasant on a horse or donkey traversing the bridge is silhouetted in the low light of the sun, while the open gate of a rustic shelter, seemingly carved out of the rock at bottom right, has attracted the attention of a curious dog.

An attribution to Willem van Bemmel (1630-1708) has been suggested by Marijke de Kinkelder (verbal communication) in February 2010. van Bemmel was active primarily in Utrecht where he trained with Herman Saftleven and was greatly inspired by Jan Both, one of the foremost painters among the second generation of Dutch Italianates. The motif of the man on a horse seen from behind (visible on the bridge in this work) reappears throughout van Bemmel's work as does the

tall thin wispy tree silhouetted against sky. The bridge with its fortified tower recalls that of the ancient Roman ponte molle or Milvian Bridge which captured the imaginations of many Dutch Italianate artists visiting Rome, visible for example in Jan Both's engraving of ca. 1640-50.
