What is the name of the Claude Monet painting of a stone and masonary bridge, with an arched bridge, building on the right, and a tower on the left?

Asked by Adirondackwannabe (36713points) August 4th, 2012

I saw this painting today, and I can’t recall the name exactly. All I get on the net are the bridge at Giverny ones. This had more rose tones than the blues he used a lot at Giverny

Here’s a site that sorts his painting by subject (or other criteria).

Here’s bridges

Most are named pretty simply after the subject matter it seems, but the images might get you where you want to go.

Are you thinking of his painting of Waterloo Bridge?

I love Monet, but he did a lot of studies of each setting, so it’s hard to pinpoint exactly which one you’re thinking of.

Thanks Funkdaddy. This is the bridge but it was a different angle. It was amazing.

@Adirondackwannabe, I don’t recall seeing that particular one before. It is a great painting. Thanks for sharing your find.

I’ve never seen this one before. It was beautiful.

If anyone can find the other versions of this I’d love to see it. The painting today had all of the block building on the right and the tower on the left, and it was from more of a distance.

This is the only one I’ve found of his that’s the same subject. But there’s a lot to go through it seems.

here’s a great view of his painting in chronological order as well, kept me busy for a while

It’s the right bridge. It’s just from a distance. It’s not one I ever saw, it was a great surprise.

Great links, @funkdaddy. Thanks!

Okay ladies, I just noticed all these answers are from guys. Uncultured? I’ll leave it there.

“Here” is a shot from the turn of the last century. Here is the bridge from the other side, as it appears today. Pretty good likeness.
