The Japanese Footbridge – Monet – 1000 pieces

The Japanese Bridge
Deeply admiring nature’s central role in Japanese culture, Monet here fuses Japanese motifs with his impressionist palette and brushstrokes to posit a hybrid, transcendent understanding of nature’s primacy. He first seriously explored translating his garden at Giverny into paint in the summer of 1899, producing a series of 12 views of its light-dappled surface, arching footbridge, and surrounding flora, especially the water lilies that enchanted him. He exhibited the paintings, including this one, at the Durand-Ruel Gallery in Paris the following year.
