Golden Gate Bridge, artwork C016 / 7685
Golden Gate Bridge. Computer artwork of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California, USA. This suspension bridge took four years to build and opened on 28th May 1937. At that time, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. It is used for road, cycle and pedestrian transport from the city of San Francisco to Marin County, crossing the opening from San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. The two towers are 1280 metres apart (shore-to-shore distance is about 2.7 kilometres), and the bridge is 27 metres wide. The two towers rise 227 metres above the water, and the clearance below the bridge is 67 metres at high tide

This print showcases the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, a true masterpiece of engineering and an emblem of San Francisco, California. Crafted by Claus Lunau, this computer artwork beautifully captures the grandeur and majesty of this renowned suspension bridge. Constructed over a span of four years, the Golden Gate Bridge opened on May 28th, 1937. At that time, it held the distinction of being the longest suspension bridge in existence. Stretching across from San Francisco Bay to the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, it serves as a vital transportation link for road users, cyclists, and pedestrians alike. The two towers stand tall at an impressive distance of 1280 meters apart with a shore-to-shore length measuring approximately 2.7 kilometers. Rising to a height of 227 meters above water level and offering a clearance below its majestic structure reaching up to 67 meters during high tide; this architectural marvel is truly awe-inspiring. With its intricate cable system and robust steel construction, this technological wonder has become synonymous with American coastal beauty. The Golden Gate Bridge stands as an enduring symbol not only for California but also for North America itself. Claus Lunau's artwork perfectly encapsulates all these remarkable features while showcasing his artistic prowess in capturing both realism and imagination within one frame. This stunning print is sure to transport viewers into a world where engineering meets artistry seamlessly - making it an exquisite addition to any collection or display space.
