Twelve landscapes (H.95-106): The Two Bridges is a 1665 by Antonie Waterloo, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows a quiet village scene with two stone bridges crossing a river. Trees line the banks, and a few small houses sit near the water’s edge. A person sits on the left bridge, and another stands near the right, while a horse and rider appear in the distance. The artist used fine lines to create depth, especially in the trees and buildings. Notice how the shadows under the bridges add texture to the scene. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark for drama.
