Bridge at Argenteuil, 1874 – Claude Monet Wall Art | Iconic Impressionist Canvas Print

Painted in 1874, Claude Monet's Bridge at Argenteuil belongs to the celebrated cycle of paintings the artist produced of the new road bridge spanning the Seine at Argenteuil — a structure that had been rebuilt after destruction in the Franco-Prussian War and that figured as a recurring motif throughout Monet's Argenteuil years. Painted in the foundational year of the Impressionist movement, the canvas captures the broad sweep of the river, the structure of the bridge against the open sky, and the leisure traffic of the basin in the freely handled brushwork that defines the new manner. A historically significant and supremely composed work for any interior drawn to the masterworks of French Impressionism.
