The White Bridge
John Henry Twachtman, after 1895
The White Bridge depicts a brook that traversed John Henry Twachtman's Connecticut property. The artist painted at least six versions of the bridge over six years, changing its shape slightly in each work. Twachtman may have altered the actual bridge or simply changed its appearance in each painting. Loosely rendered with feathery brushstrokes, and incorporating expanses of unprimed canvas, this scene captures the verdant blossoming of spring.
