Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1918 -1924 · Marmottan Monet Museum · 5106
In version 5106, the arch can be seen in the middle of a red, yellow, blue-gray and sea green material applied with almost brutal energy. The flowers seem to fall in long verticals while the pool opens in light bands under the bridge.

Look at the work
The curve of the bridge crosses the center in dark red, purple and green. It is fragmented by yellow and white stems which descend from the upper part. On the left, a lighter area lets the composition breathe; on the right, the reds and blues form a much denser mass.
In the pool, Monet places horizontal cream, blue gray and green bands, then covers them with touches of red, yellow and turquoise. The material does not imitate smooth water: it retains the repetitions, hesitations and contradictory directions which make this painting almost abstract.
The motif remains a bridge over a pool, but the real scene is now the vision itself: overflowing colors, intersecting gestures, and light dissolving objects.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

The reds and purples of the bridge should not be combined into a regular line. The curve appears, disappears under the flowers, then returns to the right half.
Yellow, white and blue descend from the top like stems or clusters. Their rhythm must remain irregular to preserve the energy of the late touch.
The long, light bands are covered in shorter, warmer gestures. The relief of these overlays matters as much as the final color.
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 1500 × 1148 px. Details of 1120 × 500 px and 1080 × 400 px come directly from inventory 5106. No files have been enlarged; all three images are true verified WebPs.
Documented benchmarks
These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.
The Marmottan Monet Museum preserves this oil on canvas measuring 89 × 116 cm, unsigned and dated between 1918 and 1924.
The museum notice highlights the new brutality of the application and the difficulty in distinguishing a completed state. The painter's altered vision contributes to the predominance of colors and the almost indecipherable character of the motif.
Remaining in the artist's family, the painting entered the Marmottan Monet Museum through the legacy of Michel Monet. It belongs to the exceptional group of the ultimate Japanese Bridges preserved in Paris.
