Langlois Bridge at Arles - Vincent van Gogh

 
The Langlois Bridge at Arles with Women Washing, 1888,

“The Langlois Bridge at Arles is the subject of four oil paintings, one watercolor and four drawings by Vincent van Gogh. The works, made in 1888 when Van Gogh lived in Arles, in southern France, represent a melding of formal and creative aspects. Van Gogh used a perspective frame that he built and used in The Hague to create precise lines and angles when portraying perspective.

The reconstructed Langlois Bridge is now named Pont Van-Gogh. ...”
