"The Devil’s Bridge and Schöllenen Gorge"
A tempestuous alpine crossing rendered in watercolor by J.M.W. Turner, 1802. The narrow pass and arched bridge evoke the sublime terror of nature and legend.

ALT A dramatic watercolor landscape depicting the Devil’s Bridge spanning the deep Schöllenen Gorge in Switzerland, painted by J.M.W. Turner in 1802. Jagged cliffs rise sharply under a swirling storm-filled sky, while a narrow path leads to the stone bridge arching above a dark chasm and cascading water below.
