Exhibition HistoryIn the Footsteps of Rembrandt: The Etching Revival in Britain and America, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, June 13-December 9, 2012, no cat., as The Viaduct, Siena.
This is an unusual view of Siena for its time. It shows the railway viaduct and not the town, an interpretation of the subject many might have considered unpicturesque. The simplified accents of the shadows on the bridge create a modern, slightly abstract feeling.
