About the piece

Created in 1873, this work by Camille Pissarro is a quintessential example of Impressionism. The painting captures the railway bridge at Pontoise with a flickering, light-filled touch, beautifully contrasting the natural riverbank and towpath with the emerging industrial landscape of 19th-century France.
