Painting under Ponte Sant'Angelo: Rome

You never know what you will find under a bridge. Today we walked to the Ponte Sant Angelo and found some interesting views from underneath. The bridge was completed in 135 AD under Hadrian and one looks across the Tiber to the Castella Sant’Angelo. I walked down the long staircase to the rivers edge. I was looking for a dramatic view of the  statues of the saints that lined the bridge. Beyond was the rising Castel Sant’Angelo… 

There was a benefit to painting below besides the great view - we could set up anywhere and not be bothered by the bustling crowds.
