The Saint Sever Bridge at Rouen, Fog 1896

"The Saint Sever Bridge at Rouen, Fog" is an oil painting by Camille Pissarro, a leading figure in the Impressionist movement, completed in 1896. The painting depicts a hazy scene of the Saint Sever Bridge in Rouen, France, with the Seine river in the foreground and the city skyline in the background. The atmospheric quality of the scene is emphasized by the fog that obscures the city buildings, creating a sense of mystery and depth. Pissarro's use of short, broken brushstrokes and vibrant colors creates a dynamic and textural surface, characteristic of Impressionist art. This artwork is a testament to Pissarro's ability to capture the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere, and it reflects his fascination with the urban landscape.
