The Wagon Passing over a Bridge is a 1740 ink by Canaletto, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a wagon crossing a bridge, with a building on the left and people in the water below. The wagon is being pulled by two oxen, and there are people standing on the bridge. The scene is set in a rural area, with a few trees and hills in the background. The painting is done in a detailed and realistic style, with a focus on the textures and patterns of the different elements. The bridge is made of stone, and the wagon is made of wood. The people in the painting are dressed in simple clothing, and they seem to be going about their daily business. The painting is a great example of the Baroque style, which emphasized realism and detail.
