Claude Monet and the bridge at Dolceacqua


This is Dolceacqua's famous humpback stone medieval bridge and in the lower left hand corner Claude Monet's painting of it. Monet visited Dolceacqua, along with Renoir, in 1884.  Monet described the bridge as 'a jewel of lightness.'

Voici le fameux pont médiéval à dos d'âne en pierre de Dolceacqua et dans le coin inférieur gauche, la peinture  de celui-ci par  Claude Monet. Monet a visité Dolceacqua avec Renoir et il a décrit le pont comme un " bijou de légèreté ".

    What a beautiful bridge. I can see why Monet would be inspired.

    This must be very popular with both photographers and painters, just as you now have proved!
