About the piece

Painted by Jan Asselijn around 1650, this Dutch Golden Age masterpiece depicts the Ponte Molle in Rome under a luminous sky. The composition masterfully balances the imposing stone arches of the bridge with a lively foreground of figures and livestock, showcasing Asselijn's skill with golden-hour light and Roman scenery.
