Composition & Subject

also known as Bridge at Arles (Women Washing)

This is part of a series of paintings that van Gogh executed (as with nearly all of his works) of the bridge at Arles.

1888
Oil on canvas
54 cm (21.26 in.) x 65 cm (25.59 in.)
Kroller-Muller Museum, Otterlo, Netherlands.

Vincent van Gogh approached his 1888 painting, The Langlois Bridge at Arles with Women Washing, with the Japanese aesthetic he so admired.

Van Gogh thought of Arles as a French counterpart to the world he saw in the Japanese prints: clear air, blossoming trees, and the local people purposefully working in harmony with nature. He longed to see "nature under a brighter sky" to better understand what inspired the artists in Japan. He approached the subject of the Langlois Bridge mindful of the Japanese example, employing clear color and emphasizing the linear patterns of the bridge structure against the sky.

As bedroom wall art, the piece pairs naturally with other post-impressionist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.

100% Hand Painted on Canvas

From primer to varnish, the work is done manually on artist-grade canvas. The absence of digital printing is deliberate: it keeps the figurative brushwork visible and gives the post-impressionist oil painting wall decor a museum-like finish.
