Description:
|
Painted in Paris in the summer of 1887. The scene depicts railway bridges over the river. Van Gogh uses light and reflection effectively in this painting. The stone piers of the bridge are reflected in the water and white paint is used for highlights. A woman dressed in pink with a red parasol are the focal point of the composition. The painting is part of a group of suburban landscapes along with a painting in Oxford, both of which he had placed in red frames. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
