The Bridge under Repair 1872

Claude Monet's 1872 painting "The Bridge under Repair" is a captivating Impressionist work. It depicts a bridge undergoing construction over a calm river. The focus is on the intricate wooden scaffolding, a stark contrast against the hazy, atmospheric sky. Monet's characteristic brushstrokes capture the fleeting light and movement, with the reflection of the bridge in the water adding to the sense of dynamism. This artwork reflects the artist's fascination with capturing the beauty of everyday scenes, even in their state of transformation.
