The Tunnel in the Park is a 1912 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a dark tunnel with an arched ceiling. The tunnel is in the center of the image, with a road or path leading through it. On the left side of the tunnel, there are trees and bushes. On the right side, there is a body of water with a bridge in the distance. The sky above is light, but the tunnel is dark and shadowy. In the foreground, there are some people standing near the entrance of the tunnel. They appear to be looking out at the water and the bridge. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of contrast between the dark, enclosed space of the tunnel and the bright, open space outside. The painting is a lithograph, which is a type of printmaking technique. To learn more about this technique, look up lithography.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
