Path To The Japanese Bridge

Path To The Japanese BridgeIn Path To The Japanese Bridge the immensely talented and internationally acclaimed John Myatt has interpreted this enduring painting in a masterful oil original. In 1899, from one single vantage point, Monet painted 12 works focusing on the bridge and his water garden. The leader of the Impressionism movement had designed the landscape from the pond to the bridge and the lilies. The muted greens contrast with yellows and reds in a game of shadows

In “Path To The Japanese Bridge” the immensely talented and internationally acclaimed John Myatt has interpreted this enduring painting in a masterful oil original. In 1899, from one single vantage point, Monet painted 12 works focusing on the bridge and his water garden. The leader of the Impressionism movement had designed the landscape from the pond to the bridge and the lilies. The muted greens contrast with yellows and reds in a game of shadows that is brought to life by the details surrounding this beautiful landscape.

From Monet’s series of Chrysanthemum still-life paintings to water-lily ponds and vibrant rose arches, the fascination with flora at Giverny is constantly present throughout his work. The Impressionist painter memorialised Giverny in numerous pieces, being renowned for their dream-like quality though his complex impressionistic style, vivid colour palette, and focus on the water and flora. It is almost unbelievable that the soft swathes of paint and hazy yet bold forms have been so perfectly echoed in this original artwork by John Myatt.

The British artist who starred in Sky Art's 'Fame in the Frame' and soon to be feature film about his artistic career, was involved in what Scotland Yard described as "the biggest art fraud of the 20th century". Now, he works with law enforcement to catch other fraudsters and produces his incredible series 'Genuine Fakes' where his astonishing knack for emulating the styles of history's best artists- from Vincent Van Gogh to Paul Cezanne- is harnessed into wonderfully realistic artworks that allow anyone to own and display their own "Genuinely fake" Monet.
