The Japanese Footbridge and the Water Lily Pool

Claude Monet ,1899

Claude Monet painting, The Japanese footbridge, and the water lily pool, Giverny, 1899, is an oil on canvas painting, The "Japanese Footbridge" brilliantly depicts the Impressionist palette in terms of aesthetics. The interplay of light and shadow is captured in vibrant greens and pinks that flow from foreground to background. Being just one of 12 different views of the same landscape, it is to remember, this is an impression of one, a single instant preserved in time, not a perfect image of a bridge.
