Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1918 -1924 · Oyamazaki · Wildenstein 1926
Under an acidic yellow and green light, the arch of the Japanese bridge blends into the vegetation. A large blue-purple vertical closes the right edge, while the pool mixes olive, orange and turquoise in thick layers, characteristic of Monet's late vision.

Look at the work
The bridge crosses the center in the form of a green-brown curve, darker than the foliage. Its opening is not empty: yellows, greens and vertical lines fill it. The large blue curtain on the right edge balances the entire composition.
The pool occupies the lower half. Its horizontal orange and olive touches intersect with colder blues and greens. At the top, circular and oblique gestures give the vegetation an energy that goes beyond simple botanical description.
The bridge is no longer an object placed in the garden: it becomes one density among others, held only by its dark curve in the middle of the yellow.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

The brown greens and purples of the bridge are interrupted by vegetation. The curve must remain perceptible without being regularized.
This cold vertical structures the canvas and retains the expansion of the yellows. Its density must be preserved without transforming it into a drawn trunk.
The reflections are superimposed in short and long touches. Mixing them evenly would cause you to lose the movement and material of the foreground.
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 753 × 704 px. Details of 500 × 320 px and 500 × 250 px come directly from version W1926, without enlargement. 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 Oyamazaki Museum preserves this oil on canvas of 89 × 93 cm, painted between 1918 and 1924 and cataloged under the number Wildenstein 1926.
The museum's notice connects the atmospheric veil and intensity of the palette to Monet's diminished vision, while emphasizing the power and energy of his touch.
Monet had this bridge built above the basin of his property. In the late series, the familiar motif becomes the support for research into perception itself.
