The Bridge of Beaugency 1944

"The Bridge of Beaugency" is a 1944 pastel on paper by French artist Jacques Villon (1875-1963). The work is known for its simplified geometric forms and vibrant colors. The painting features a view of a bridge and surrounding landscape, with a prominent yellow sky and a verdant foreground. The work exemplifies Villon's later style, which embraced abstract elements while still retaining a connection to representational subject matter.
