Japanese Bridge
Claude Monet made the Japanese bridge in Giverny part of a series of paintings around his own landscaped water garden.
The story
What do we know about this job?
In the supplied reproduction, the light bow divides the dense green and reflecting water. The bridge is not a loose decor piece: Monet designed the pond, the planting and the wooden footbridge as one landscape that he could observe and paint over and over again.
