1886
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Little Devil's Bridge is a 1886 by Frank Short, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a misty, moonlit landscape with tall, gnarled trees framing a rocky bridge. The moon glows pale behind the trees, casting soft light over the scene. Shadows and texture fill the scene, making the trees and rocks look rough and uneven. The artist used a mix of dark and light tones to create depth, focusing on how the moon’s light hits the landscape. This style highlights the mood of the night rather than fine details. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
Sir Francis Job Short PPRE (19 June 1857 – 22 April 1945) was a British printmaker and teacher of printmaking.
