Travelers at the Rock Arch in the Limestone Mountains of the River Elbe
Johann Moritz Gottfried Jentzsch German
Not on view
Jentzsch, a landscape specialist active at the Dresden court in the beginning of the nineteenth century, depicted tourists visiting a natural attraction in the Uttewalder Valley known as the Felsentor ("rock arch"). A number of German Romantic artists sketched the dramatic spot, a narrow passage between two high cliffs. In this sheet, two gentlemen assist their ladies in crossing a precarious bridge of planks as another man examines the remarkable rock formations through his spectacles.
