claude monet bridge painting

Claude Monet was in many ways fascinated by Japanese culture. Many woodcuts and decorations at his house in Giverny attest to this, not least the bridge he had built in his garden. Monet included the bridge in many paintings that not only focused on the bridge itself but also on the pond it spanned, the water lilies in the pond and the banks surrounding the bridge.
In recognition of Monet’s respect for the Japanese, and as a tribute to this western artist which in favored by many Japanese, a copy of Monet’s garden with its Japanese included can today also be found in Kitigawa in Japan.

Claude monet painting a lot of bridge painting.such as Charing Cross Bridge, Waterloo Bridge and Japanese bridge.We all know Claude Monet once live in Japanese.In 1895, he had a small arched Japanese bridge built to span the western end of the pond.

For this painiting Claude monet is say this.

"They are bringing the canvases to me one after the other. A color that I had found and sketched on one of these canvases yesterday reappears in the air. I am quickly given this painting and strive to fix this vision as permanently as possible. But it usually vanishes as fast as it sprang up, making way for another color I had already painted days ago on another study instantly put in front of me... And that is the way it is all day long."
