This is a sketch of The Bridge of Sighs in Venice. Made of white limestone with stone bars window, the bridge passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the old prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge’s Palace. Designed by Antoni Contino, The Bridge of Sighs was built between 1600 and 1603. Named by Lord Byron, The Bridge of Sighs comes from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice out the window before being taken down to their cells. www.galleryfang.com/blog
