“The Gleize Bridge over the Vigneyret Canal,” created by Vincent van Gogh in 1888, is an oil painting on canvas that measures 45.7 x 48.9 cm. Set in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France, this landscape artwork belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene scene along the Vigneyret Canal, featuring the Gleize Bridge as its focal point. The bridge arches gracefully over the calm waters, with delicate reflections dancing on the surface. On the left bank, several figures are engaged in various activities, possibly washing clothes or tending to the boats. Vegetation and small bursts of color enhance the foreground, adding depth and texture to the scene. In the background, soft hues of blue and white intersperse with earthy tones, creating a harmonious and tranquil atmosphere that captures the essence of Van Gogh’s Post-Impressionist style.
