Bridge of Augustus at Rimini is a 1757 oil by Richard Wilson, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows a bridge with arches over a river, with a building on the left side. There are people in the foreground and background, and trees and hills in the distance. The scene is depicted in muted colors, with the bridge and buildings in shades of brown and gray, and the sky above a hazy blue. The overall effect is one of serenity and calmness. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
Richard Wilson (1 August 1714 – 15 May 1782) was a Welsh painter who specialised in landscape art and worked in Britain and Italy.
