The Milvian Bridge by Giovanni Battista Piranesi is one of the famous engravings from his "Views of Rome," created in the second half of the 18th century. The work depicts the famous bridge over the Tiber, one of Rome's oldest, with the grandeur and dramatic sense typical of Piranesi's style. Through bold perspective and a masterful use of chiaroscuro, Piranesi transforms the architectural scene into a monumental vision, in which ruins and architecture are imbued with symbolic power.
The bridge, a witness to historical and military events, appears as an emblem of eternal Rome, suspended between past and present. The small and marginal human figures accentuate the majesty of the work and the contrast between the grandeur of antiquity and the fragility of humanity. With this engraving, Piranesi celebrates the allure of Roman remains and the poetic power of architecture as a memory of civilization.
