The Pont Neuf 1901

"The Pont Neuf" by Camille Pissarro is a depiction of the famous bridge in Paris, France. Painted in 1901, the work captures the Parisian cityscape with a sense of tranquility. The composition is dominated by a large, bare tree in the foreground, its branches framing a view of the bridge and the statue of Henry IV. The painting exemplifies Pissarro's Pointillist style, utilizing small, distinct brushstrokes to create an overall sense of movement and light. This work captures the beauty of Paris, a common subject of Pissarro's artwork, and his interest in depicting modern urban life.
