Claude Monet // A Bridge Over A Pond of Water Lilies // Impressionism

This is a pretty “straight forward” painting, it’s title is even “A Bridge Over A Pond of Water Lilies”! The painting it self is not ‘impressive’, the style and technique that coat the canvas are. The painting style was actually named after one of Monet’s paintings. The main characteristic of impressionism is the thin, yet visible brush stoke, which could represent the passage of time, in this painting to the left it give a very relaxed, slowed down feel.
