Catalogue numbers: F 570, JH 1421. Between March and May 1888 van Gogh depicted the Langlois Bridge in Arles nine times. It is a subject typically Dutch in character, evoking the memory of small Dutch towns with drawbridges. Van Gogh usually depicted the structure seen from the side, where the raw stone plinth and the drawing mechanism are given the most complex view. | |
