About the piece

Painted in 1888 during his time in Arles, this iconic work by Vincent van Gogh captures the Langlois Bridge with a brilliant Southern French light. The composition combines the structural geometry of the wooden drawbridge with the rhythmic movement of washerwomen along the canal, rendered in a palette of radiant yellows and deep blues.
