Devil's Bridge toward the Gothard Mountain in Switzerland (1785–1824)

"Devil's Bridge toward the Gothard Mountain in Switzerland" (1785–1824) is a work by Franz Xaver Triner. Context for 1785–1824: The eighteenth century began with the light, ornamental Rococo, especially in France, and moved towards the clarity and antique references of Neoclassicism by the end of the century. In Japan, ukiyo-e woodblock printing flourished in the Edo period and made colour prints a popular and affordable art form. Background on Drawings: Artists have long used drawings to plan paintings, sculptures, and buildings, so a sketch can show how an idea developed. Because line carries so much of the effect, drawings tend to reward close looking at the quality of the mark. The catalogue places it in Drawings. The format is portrait.
