EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Martorell. Puente Diablo" or "Devils Bridge," is a stunning representation of the historic structure located in Martorell, Spain, created by the skilled hand of Francisco Javier Boada Parcerisa around 1839. The image is part of the "Recuerdos y bellezas de España" or "Souvenirs and Beauties of Spain" collection, showcasing the country's rich cultural heritage through intricately detailed lithographs. The Puente Diablo, or Devil's Bridge, is a captivating architectural marvel that spans the Llobregat River in Martorell. This bridge, with its unique and ominous appearance, has been a subject of fascination for many artists and visitors throughout history. The bridge's name is believed to have originated from the legend that the devil himself helped construct it, as it features a seemingly impossible design with its two arches of unequal height. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of the bridge in daylight, with the sunlight casting intriguing shadows on the bridge's intricate stonework. People can be seen in the foreground, adding a sense of scale and activity to the image. The horizontal composition of the print emphasizes the expansive view of the bridge and the river, while the use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the scene. This engraving is a testament to the artistic talent of Francisco Javier Boada Parcerisa and the rich cultural heritage of Spain. It invites us to explore the history and beauty of this fascinating country, transporting us to a bygone era through its intricate details and captivating imagery.
