On the Pont de l'Europe
The composition and color palette of On the Pont de l'Europe are quite striking.
I love the offhand way the men are shown casually at the side.
Peinture très symbolique, les hommes comme égaux/ men as equals. The wealthy man in the top hat looks out over the bridge with the common man in his traditional blue worker’s shirt as they stand as equals. Caillebotte was a believer of the great French motto Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité 🇫🇷 :)
The wonders of the new machine age. That blue palette, cloudy, with smoke and steam. That French blue serge, jacket of a "working man" almost matching the bridge. The test of a good painting, the more you look, the more you see. A snapshot of male life.. love it
