The Langlois Bridge at Arles 1888

"The Langlois Bridge at Arles" is a post-impressionist painting by Vincent van Gogh, painted in 1888 while he was living in Arles, France. The painting depicts the Langlois Bridge over the Rhône River, with a horse-drawn carriage crossing the bridge and figures washing clothes in the river below. The bridge's yellow structure is a prominent feature of the painting, and it is rendered with van Gogh's signature thick, expressive brushstrokes. This piece is one of several versions that van Gogh created of this bridge and is an important example of his use of vibrant color and swirling lines to capture the atmosphere of his surroundings.
