“A picture is nothing but a bridge
between the soul of the artist and that of the spectator.”
~ Eugene Delacroix
~ 1798-1863
Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix was
a French Romantic artist regarded from the outset of his career as the leader
of the French Romantic school. Manassas Guth Covered Bridge is the star of this painterly and serene scene that I captured on the first day of summer, June 20, 2020.
Manassas Guth Covered Bridge crosses
the Jordan Creek in South Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania. The historic wooden
bridge was constructed in 1858 and rebuilt in 1882. It is a 108-foot long Burr
Truss Bridge with vertical siding. It was placed on the National Register of
Historic Places in 1980, and is part of Covered Bridge Park, Orefield,
Pennsylvania.
The bridge is also known as Guth’s
Covered Bridge and Guth’s Bridge.
