Claude Monet · 1919 · Kunstmuseum Basel · W1916

The footbridge over the water lily pondhand painted reproduction

The Japanese bridge is nothing more than a blue-green arch taken from a dense garden. The light wisteria crosses the center, the yellow and turquoise foliage closes the sides, and the pool appears in fragments under this vegetation which has become almost abstract.

Look at the work

An arch still readable in a garden which transforms into a space of color

The footbridge describes a low curve in the center. Its balustrade is covered with touches of pale blue and sea green which respond to the flowers hanging above. On the left, the vegetation advances en masse; on the right, the long leaves of a willow close the scene and accentuate the enveloping effect.

Under the bridge, the pool is not a calm plane. The greens, yellows and blues are taken up by broad gestures, then punctuated by a few pinks and whites. Monet retains figurative landmarks, but the freedom of the brush leads them towards a continuous field of color.

The footbridge remains like a shape memory: its curve organizes the canvas even though vegetation threatens to absorb it entirely.

Composition, touch and light

What Monet builds behind the impression of snapshot

Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

Analysis of La Passerelle on the water lily pond - Claude Monet
01

An arch without continuous outline

The curve appears as a succession of blues, greens and whites. It must remain irregular, crossed by vegetation and not redesigned as an isolated structure.

02

Wisteria as a second gateway

The flowery band that crosses the center echoes the balustrade in a lighter range. This repetition gives its horizontal rhythm to the composition.

03

Sides that move towards the gaze

The yellow-green masses on the left and the willow leaves on the right frame the pool. Their differences in gesture create depth without traditional perspective.

Details and visual documents

Observe the material and the exact version

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.
