Ponte Vecchio, Florence is a 1621 ink by Edouard Eckman, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a bridge with three arches over a river. Under the middle arch, a small town sits on the far bank. On the riverbank below, four people lie on the grass, some reclining, others sitting. The bridge looks old, with buildings on either side of it. The artist used lines to create depth, making the bridge and town look solid. The people seem relaxed, almost like they’re enjoying a quiet moment. This is made using the woodcut technique.
