Puente de San Martin Toledo

Description

Oil painting of the Puente de San Martin across the Rio Tajo (Tagus) in Toledo Spain. The bridge was constructed in the late 14th century by archbishop Pedro Tenorio to provide access to the old town from the west, complementing the older Puente de Alcántara linking to the east. Both sides of the bridge were heavily fortified with towers, the more recent dating from the 16th century. Painted on linen by Dai Wynn. 20.3 cm high by 25.4 cm wide by 0.3 cm deep approximately. I recently realised that I had painted this scene in watercolours many years ago and had sold the artwork.
