If you have once visited beautiful Andalusia in southern Spain, you have probably visited the imposing Puente Nuevo in the town of Ronda.
At the time, I really enjoyed this beautiful Spanish region and then made a painting of this extraordinary bridge.
The original painting was painted with water colour (watercolour) on watercolour paper. I used beautiful soft pastel shades with striking light and shadows. The painting includes Terracotta, Ochre Yellow, Salmon, Eggplant and Olive Green tones that exude a warm atmosphere.
The painting exudes tranquillity while giving you a nice spring, summer or holiday feeling.
The painting has been photographed in high resolution and is available as an Artprint in both small and wall-filling sizes. Think of a painting for above the dining table or as wallpaper in the kitchen, hallway, bedroom or as wall decoration in a tapas restaurant or travel agency.
Puente Nuevo 'which means New Bridge' is a stone bridge that spans the deep gorge Tajo de Ronda with the river Guadalevín as one of three bridges. The gorge is as much as 120 metres deep in places. Puente Nuevo is the newest bridge connecting Ronda's Mercadillo (market) and La Ciudad (the old town) districts. Puente nuevo has a height of 98 metres and José Martín de Aldehuela was the architect. In 1740, the bridge collapsed during construction. Construction resumed in 1751 and was completed in 1793.
