The Red Bridge 1895

"The Red Bridge" (1895) by American artist Julian Alden Weir, currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, depicts a bridge traversing a river, viewed from a perspective below. The bridge's red ironwork stands out against the lush green foliage that dominates the composition, emphasizing the man-made structure within a natural setting. Weir's signature is visible in the lower left corner, further authenticating the work. The painting reflects the Impressionist style, capturing the ephemeral beauty of light and color in a tranquil, seemingly rural setting.
