Monet has always been one of my favorite painters, and this painting The Japanese Bridge, is definitely my favorite of his works. One of the main reasons for my love for it is the composition. While the majority of the canvas is used in depicting water, the use of reflection and the plant life keeps it from being dull. Additionally, the bridge in the background, while keeping with the same color theme as the rest of the work, manages to use a tone that helps it to stand out and divide the image cleanly. The other reason for my fondness for The Japanese Bridge may be a little more subjective- it always hung in the entrance to my house, and I can still recall where it hung and how it looked!
