About the piece

Created in 1887 during his time in Paris, 'Bridge in the Rain' is a profound homage to Utagawa Hiroshige’s woodblock prints. Van Gogh translated the atmospheric Japanese scene into his own signature style, using bold vertical strokes to represent the rain and surrounding the central scene with a hand-painted border of Japanese characters that emphasizes his fascination with Japonisme.
