Langloisbrug te Arles
1888
Vincent van Gogh captured the Langlois Bridge in Arles in 1888, heavily inspired by the Japanese woodblock prints he adored. Notice the bold, dark outlines of the drawbridge and the tall, spiky cypress trees that give the scene a graphic quality against the swirling, textured blue sky. A tiny figure with a black umbrella crosses the bridge, adding a touch of everyday life to this vibrant, sun-drenched landscape. Van Gogh was so obsessed with this structure and the light reflecting off the canal that he painted it multiple times.
