Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1918 -1924 · Marmottan Monet Museum · W1924
The bridge arch is almost engulfed by purple-brown, green and red material. A yellow light bursts in the upper left corner, while the right side remains closed by blue-black verticals. In this late version, Giverny's familiar motif is no longer described: it emerges in densities, key directions and temperature contrasts.

Look at the work
The upper edge concentrates the warmest colors. Yellow, orange and light green open the left corner, then are absorbed by red browns and purples. Below, the bridge forms a wide, almost horizontal curved band. Its railing and apron merge with the branches, but several lighter lines maintain the arch.
Under the bridge, the water is painted with short, dark markings, mixing olive green, burgundy and blue. The right side descends into long purple-black verticals which close the space. A few yellow and red accents placed near the edges prevent the canvas from reducing to a dark mass and circulate an interior light.
The recognition of the bridge arises less from a design than from a resistance: a dark curve still stands in the middle of vertical thrusts and thick colors.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

The shape of the bridge must remain perceptible without being redesigned. Its contours are constructed by changes of direction and temperature among browns and greens.
The yellow of the top left is the main bright focus. Its contrast with the purples on the right side organizes the entire canvas and must maintain its intensity without whitening.
Verticals, curves and small horizontals partially overlap. Keeping their directions distinct restores the tension of this late painting.
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 best native occurrence found of this exact version measures 755 × 655 px; it has been preserved without enlargement. The actual view of the room measures 1000 × 900 px and the native detail 560 × 520 px. All three files were encoded and verified as true decodable WebPs.
Documented benchmarks
These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.
This unsigned oil on canvas, painted between 1918 and 1924, measures 89 × 100 cm. It belongs to the Marmottan Monet Museum under number 5091 and corresponds to number 1924 of the Wildenstein catalog raisonné.
Monet represents the Giverny footbridge from the 1890s. In its latest versions, the arch remains recognizable but vegetation, light and pictorial material invade the structure until removing any stable separation between object and atmosphere.
The Marmottan Monet Museum is the only place to preserve this exceptional set of last Japanese Bridges. Canvas 5091 entered its collections with the legacy of Michel Monet in 1966.
