Bridge at Dolo is a 1790 oil by Francesco Guardi, a Rococo painting work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
The painting depicts a serene scene of a bridge spanning a canal, with a few figures standing on it. The bridge is rendered in muted earth tones, while the sky above is a soft blue. In the foreground, a gondola is visible, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. A notable detail in the painting is the use of chiaroscuro, which creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. The artist's skillful application of light and shadow adds to the overall sense of calmness in the scene. This painting is reminiscent of the works of other artists who explored the use of light and shadow, such as Francesco Guardi.
Francesco Lazzaro Guardi (Italian pronunciation: ; 5 October 1712 – 1 January 1793) was an Italian painter, nobleman, and a member of the Venetian School.
