# Under the Pont des Arts, Paris [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PAULSEN, Julius]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 46 x 55 cm ## Commentary This painting is at once Impressionist and Japanese. The painting is plainly related to the Impressionists' countless Seine landscapes; and the bridge arch that dominates the foreground recalls Japanese woodcuts, as well as Monet's Japanese bridge in his garden at Giverny. The freshness of the colours and the intensity of the light confirm the French feel of the work. ## Related artworks - [St. John's on Tisvilde Beach]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
