THE DEVILS’ BRIDGE; After Turner, 2026

This painting ‘The Devils’ Bridge’ was a follow up to ‘The Passage’.

Both were inspired by JMW Turner who visited the Swiss Alps 1802. He took a viewpoint by traversing by foot and mule up the gorge making sketches on his way looking back at the bridge. This version of the bridge was built of stone in 1695 collapsed in 1895. Turner created two versions of the stone bridge, one in water colour and one ink.
