“The Seine with the Pont de la Grande Jette” is a painting by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1887 in Paris, France. Executed in oil on canvas, this artwork belongs to the Post-Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism movements and is classified as a cityscape. The painting is housed in the Van Gogh Museum located in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The artwork captures a serene view of the Seine river with the Pont de la Grande Jette bridge spanning across it. The river’s surface reflects an interplay of light and color, characteristic of Van Gogh’s dynamic brushwork. The bridge, painted in soft, muted tones, serves as a focal point, while hints of greenery and architecture recede into the background, offering a glimpse of the urban landscape along the riverbank. The composition effectively conveys both the tranquility of the river setting and the subtle vibrancy of city life.
