The "Bridge at Argenteuil" is an iconic work painted by Claude Monet in 1874, a crucial period for the Impressionist movement.
The painting depicts the railway bridge over the River Seine at Argenteuil, a town that in that decade became a refuge for Monet and other Impressionist artists, attracted by its tranquility and scenic opportunities.
The bridge itself, despite being a modern industrial structure, integrates into the river landscape without dominating the composition, and is an element that contributes to the modernity of the subject represented.
The figures on the boats and the riverbanks are barely hinted at, serving as simple splashes of color that accentuate the life and movement of the scene. The sky, clouds, and water are treated with careful attention to variations in tone.
