Roman inspiration ...
The beautiful Montagu Bridge was built in 1792 by Robert Adam and was one of the last structures to be designed by this hugely influential Scottish architect. The bridge is a magnificent structure of genuine beauty, an architectural form inspired by pure geometry and classical proportion. The formality of the architecture and its juxtaposition into the landscape is heroic. My understanding is that Adam studied under Piranesi at the Rome School ... it shows.
(Note; I mirrored the image at the high water line to see the bridge as it was drawn in Adams original drawings.)
