MONET, Claude: The Bridge at Bougival

🖼 The Bridge at Bougival, 1870
Oil on canvas
63 × 91 cm
New Hampshire, Italy

Soft brushstrokes capture a wooden bridge dissolving into misty riverside foliage, rendered in Monet's characteristic dissolving light. This early work exemplifies Impressionism's revolutionary approach to landscape, prioritizing fleeting atmospheric effects over precise detail.
