About the piece
Painted around 1804, this work depicts the iconic Devil's Bridge in Saint Gotthard's Pass. J.M.W. Turner utilizes his revolutionary watercolor technique to merge the rocky terrain with a rain-washed, misty sky. The composition is anchored by a delicate rainbow, illustrating the 'sublime'—the awe-inspiring and terrifying power of nature that fascinated Romantic-era artists.
