Claude Monet (1840-1926), Attributed to, oil on canvas. Monet's 1899 work mainly features green and blue tones, capturing the reflection of afternoon sunlight on the water surface and vegetation through short, quivering brushstrokes. The pinkish-white of water lilies, the bluish-green of the bridge and the lush green of the background interweave to form a soft color gradient, as if the "flow of light" has been frozen on the canvas. The picture takes Nihonbashi as the visual center, and the arc of the bridge echoes the curve of the water lily pond, breaking the constraints of traditional perspective.
Dimensions: Image size: 39 1/2 inches x 28 1/2 inches. All measured values are approximate. Outer frame size: 43 3/4 inches x 33 1/8 inches. All measured values are approximate.
Provenance and authenticity: According to information provided by the consignor, this lot is accompanied by documentation relating to prior opinions on attribution and authenticity, including a certificate of authenticity.
The auction house has not independently verified the provenance or authenticity of this lot, and all related information is provided for reference only.
Note: Claude Monet (1840-1926) built a private garden in Giverny in 1890. He introduced water from a tributary of the Seine River to construct a pond, planted water lilies and built a Japanese arched bridge, using it as an "outdoor studio". This work is one of his nearly 200 depictions of garden landscapes, embodying the Impressionists' ultimate pursuit of "moments of light and shadow" and "natural poetry", and also subtly hinting at his fascination with the aesthetics of Japanese ukiyo-e. The reflection on the water surface blurs the boundary between "reality and illusion", allowing the space to wander between the concrete and the abstract, creating an immersive garden atmosphere. It is the pinnacle of the Impressionist "light and shadow experiment", pushing landscape painting from "the reproduction of scenery" to "the expression of perception", and laying the groundwork for subsequent abstract art.
