Bridge at Avignon 1927

"Bridge at Avignon" is a watercolor painting by Scottish artist James McBey, executed in 1927. The painting depicts a sweeping view of the iconic Pont d'Avignon, a medieval bridge over the Rhône River in southern France. McBey's signature loose, expressive brushstrokes capture the structure's graceful arches, while the delicate washes of color bring life to the surrounding landscape and the line of trees framing the scene. The artwork, with its picturesque subject matter, is a testament to McBey's mastery of watercolor, a medium he used extensively throughout his career.
