About the piece
Painted in 1781 by Christian Georg Schütz, this oil on copper work depicts the legendary Devil's Bridge on the St. Gotthard Pass. The composition masterfully balances the dark, rugged textures of the mountain pass with a luminous sky, emphasizing the overwhelming scale of the mountains against the tiny figures of travelers.
