About the Item
Catherine Colosimo, a self-taught artist who was born in Montreal, Quebec, was influenced deeply by her father’s love of painting and craftsmanship and, at a young age discovered her love of art and her talent for painting.
Catherine paints in oils, and her works can be found in many private collections in Canada and the United States. Her work is appreciated and recently sought-after by the novice collector and the most discriminating connoisseur.
London Tower Bridge is an iconic landmark symbol of the city's rich history and architectural grandeur. Spanning the River Thames, it stands as an impressive example of Victorian engineering and is one of the most recognizable bridges in the world.
Completed in 1894, Tower Bridge was designed by Sir Horace Jones and engineer Sir John Wolfe Barry. Its construction was remarkable, combining bascule (drawbridge) and suspension elements. The bridge's primary purpose was to provide a crossing for road traffic while maintaining access to downstream port facilities.
Tower Bridge's distinctive feature is its two tall towers, connected by a central walkway and spanned by the bascule bridge section. The bascules, or "lifting arms," can be raised to allow tall ships to pass through, ensuring uninterrupted navigation on the river. This architectural design has made Tower Bridge a functioning drawbridge, even in modern times.
The bridge's exterior is adorned with ornate Victorian Gothic details, including turrets, arches, and decorative motifs. The colour scheme of blue and white adds to its elegance and visual appeal. Tower Bridge is enchanting when illuminated at night, as its lights reflect on the river's surface, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
Within the towers of the bridge, the Tower Bridge Exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to explore its history, enjoy panoramic views of London from the walkways, and learn about the mechanisms that operate the bascule bridge. The exhibition also houses a collection of artifacts and interactive displays that bring the bridge's story to life.
Tower Bridge is a vital transportation link and an enduring symbol of London's heritage and culture. It has witnessed numerous historic events and celebrations, and its image is often associated with the city's identity. Tower Bridge stands as a testament to human ingenuity. It is a beloved landmark that attracts millions of visitors yearly, eager to experience its beauty and learn about its fascinating history.
