About the piece

Created in 1910, J. Alden Weir’s 'The Bridge: Nocturne' is a sophisticated example of American Impressionism. The work looks out across rooftops toward the Queensboro Bridge, utilizing a luminous palette of deep teals and warm gold to evoke the quiet, shimmering energy of the city after dark.
