Roman Bridge Walk, Tavira

The Ponte Romana is an iconic landmark in Tavira and forms part of the trade route from Europe to Africa that crossed the Rio Gilão. The current bridge was built in 1667 on the foundations of the original Roman Bridge and fortunately is now designated as pedestrian only.

As a tribute the age of the bridge I decided to paint this scene in the oldest colour palette known to history, the same ones used in cave paintings - yellow ochre, red, black and white. I think it lends a certain classical atmosphere to the piece.
