Description

Ponte Santa Trinità, a bridge across the Arno in Florence, forms the center of Harding's watercolor. The tower of the Palazzo Vecchio punctuates the skyline at left, and the Ponte Vecchio is glimpsed beyond the arches. The artist took his view from the top of a flight of steps leading down to the river, and describes masons working on a block of stone in the foreground. Additional figures sit on or lean against the embankment wall as a figure on horseback passes a carriage further along the riverside road. The images was engraved by James Redaway for Thomas Roscoe's "The Tourist in Italy" (1832). Medium: watercolor and graphite.
