EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Devils Bridge, located in St. Gotthards Pass, around 1804. Painted by Joseph Mallord William Turner, this artwork showcases his masterful use of watercolor and white wax crayon on wove paper. Measuring an impressive 105.9x75.9 cm, this piece is housed at the Yale Center for British Art, thanks to the generous support of the Paul Mellon Fund. The image transports us to a breathtaking landscape filled with natural wonders. The river flows gracefully beneath the bridge, reflecting a vibrant rainbow that stretches across the misty atmosphere. The craggy cliffs surrounding the scene add an element of rugged beauty to this ethereal composition. Legend has it that Devils Bridge derives its name from a pact made between Saint Gotthard and a mischievous devil who sought passage through these treacherous mountains centuries ago. This mythical tale adds intrigue and mystique to an already awe-inspiring setting. Turner's artistic prowess shines through as he expertly captures both the grandeur and delicacy of nature in this masterpiece. Every brushstroke conveys a sense of movement and emotion, making us feel as if we are standing right there amidst this enchanting scenery. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to create art that immortalizes moments in time while simultaneously celebrating our connection with nature's wonderment.
