The Japanese Bridge - Claude Monet
The Japanese Bridge is one of Claude Monet's most famous works, located in his garden at Giverny.

The richness of the colours and the reflections in the water demonstrate Monet's mastery of reproducing the effects of light on nature. The bright, varied brushstrokes give an impression of spontaneity, but each stroke is meticulously thought out. The use of warm colours, combined with the representation of reflections and shadows, creates an atmosphere that is both peaceful and vibrant.
