The artwork titled “Puente rústico en el río San Ángel” was created by Jose Maria Velasco in the year 1862. This piece belongs to the Romanticism art movement and falls under the landscape genre.
The artwork features a rustic bridge crafted from natural materials, blending seamlessly into its surroundings over the serene waters of the San Ángel river. Dominated by lush greenery, the scene captures the essence of undisturbed nature with a variety of trees and vegetation depicted in meticulous detail. The bridge, seemingly constructed from a weathered tree trunk and branches, brings a sense of harmony and rustic charm to the composition. The clear sky above adds a calming and vast backdrop to this tranquil landscape. Velasco’s use of light and shadow, along with the careful rendering of texture, showcases his mastery in capturing the beauty and serenity of the natural world.
