Verona
1873-1931
Step into a sun-drenched afternoon in Verona with this lovely etching by Etienne Bosch. The artist uses warm, sepia tones and loose, scratchy lines to capture the Adige River, with the ancient Ponte Pietra bridge arching gracefully in the background. Notice how the bottom half of the image is mostly empty space? That's a clever trick to show the vast, shimmering water reflecting the tall, crumbling buildings on the banks. It’s a perfect example of Impressionist style, where the feeling of the light and atmosphere matters more than perfect architectural details.
