Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1918 -1924 · Auckland · Wildenstein 1920
A blue-green arch crosses a light pool almost without horizon. In this late version, the foliage, the bridge and the water lilies mingle in a turquoise material where a few pink and purple accents are enough to direct the eye.

Look at the work
The arch occupies the central third, wide and slightly off-center. Monet does not surround it: blues, greens and grays assemble it in flashes, then the vegetation falls in front of it. The whites left visible at the edges and between the keys give the canvas a very particular breath.
Under the bridge, the water is built in long horizontal sea green, pale blue and mauve. Water lilies appear in small pink or cream commas. Above, the gestures become more vertical and tighter, like a curtain of wisteria and willows.
The ark is no longer an isolated object: it is the main rhythm of a surface where water, plants and light respond to each other.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

The arch must remain irregular, crossed by blue, green and gray. A sharp line would remove the appearance effect specific to this version.
The clear canvas passages are not gaps to be filled. They separate the turquoise masses and prevent the vegetation from becoming opaque.
Roses and purples are rare but essential. They signal water lilies and balance the cold dominant without neutralizing it.
Details and visual documents
The additional images show the difficult-to-read passages in the full view and, where it exists, the actual appearance of the work at the museum.


The main view measures 1017 × 899 px. The detail of 2700 × 1050 px and the museum photograph of 3701 × 3319 px come from a live shot of the work. No files have been enlarged; all three images are real WebPs.
Documented benchmarks
These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.
This almost square oil on canvas measures 100.5 × 111.5 cm. It belongs to the Hideaki Fukutake collection and is on long-term loan to the Auckland Art Gallery.
Monet had his pond and footbridge built in the 1890s. Between 1918 and 1924, he took up this motif in a radical series where traditional depth gave way to overlays of color.
The New Zealand gallery has presented this version of the Fukutake collection since 2016. Its inventory sheet dates it from 1918 -1924 and records it under number L2016/18/1.
