A Roman Bridge, oil painting

Recently completed oil painting of a bridge in Rome, Italy from a photograph we made while there some years ago. This image had come and gone in my mental file and in my photograph album often. ( Actually, it is still in both places.) It just had to be painted. This bridge goes over the river Tiber and is lined with statues that really hold your attention.
Oil on canvas 16 x 20
Thanks for looking.
