Angelo Cignaroli (Turin 1767 - 1841-42) View of the Devil's Bridge oil on canvas cm 41 x 30 "Among the very few views by Angelo Cignaroli that do not feature a Piedmontese locality is this unpublished canvas; unusual is the way in which the support was placed on the easel, not horizontally, but vertically. The purpose of the choice was almost certainly to give a greater upward momentum to the entire composition and thus to make the rugged mountains depicted even more monumental and majestic. The poetic backlight effect that characterizes the entire second plane of the scene makes visible, in the center, what in effect is the only element that manages - let's put it this way - to break in two such verticality, that is, the slender humpback bridge that connects the two opposite sides of a ravine, in the middle of which runs a very steep and impetuous waterfall." - Museum of Decorative Arts Accorsi - Ometto, ANGELO CIGNAROLI, Views of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Silvana Editoriale, p. 218.
