W 194 Monet - The bridge of Argenteuil under repair [1871-72]

            W 194 
Claude Monet 
The bridge of Argenteuil under repair [1871-72]
Cambridge Fitzwilliam Museum, UK


Shortly after settling in Argenteuil, Monet grew fond of painting as his subject the bridge carrying the road into the town centre. The bridge was still in the process of reconstruction at that point during the winter of 1871. It had in fact been burnt down during the war of 1870 and the Prussian occupation of Paris. It was rebuilt in the same style and using the same materials (wood and stone). Monet then painted the view of a bridge supported by scaffolding over the grey-blue waters of the Seine. This complex subject of interlinked beams seems to have made a great impression on him. He assigns great importance to it in this painting, also playing with its reflection on the river's shimmering surface and setting it in stark opposition to the emptiness of the dark sky and the stillness of the water.
