EDITORS COMMENTS
This view of the Ponte Rotto in Rome, as depicted by Dutch artist Jan Asselijn (c.1636-c.1644), transports us back in time to the 17th century. The ancient Roman bridge, also known as the Senatorial Bridge or Pons Aemilius, is seen from the east bank of the River Tiber. Asselijn masterfully captures the essence of this historic structure with its arches and worn-out stone, which stands proudly amidst the bustling river activity. Boats filled with men and cargo make their way along the river, adding to the vibrant scene. The bridge, which once connected the two banks of the Tiber, was an essential transportation hub during the Roman era and continued to serve as a vital link between the city and its surroundings in the 17th century. Asselijn's meticulous use of chalk and ink on paper creates a striking contrast between the black and white tones, further emphasizing the textures and details of the bridge and the surrounding landscape. The artist's keen eye for composition and attention to detail make this drawing a valuable addition to the heritage of both Dutch and Italian art during the Golden Age. The Ponte Rotto, which translates to 'broken bridge,' is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Rome. This view of the bridge, as captured by Jan Asselijn, offers a unique perspective on a landmark that has stood the test of time and continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
