Description
Vincent van Gogh's "The Bridge in the Rain (after Hiroshige)" is an oil on canvas painting from 1887. Part of a series of copies Van Gogh made after Japanese woodblock prints, it reflects the Japonisme craze that swept through Europe in the late 19th century.
Vincent van Gogh's "The Bridge in the Rain (after Hiroshige)" is an oil on canvas painting completed in 1887. This work forms part of a series of copies Van Gogh made after Japanese woodblock prints, specifically those by Hiroshige, reflecting the Japonisme craze that swept through Europe in the late 19th century. Van Gogh did not merely copy these works; he reinterpreted them through his own artistic lens, using his distinctive brushwork and colour palette. The painting depicts a bridge, likely based on Hiroshige's "Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi bridge and Atake", with figures hurrying across it under a downpour. Van Gogh's version is framed by borders filled with Japanese calligraphy, adding to the overall aesthetic. The sky is rendered with short, choppy brushstrokes in shades of blue and white, conveying the intensity of the rain. The bridge itself is a bright yellow, contrasting with the green and brown tones of the surrounding environment. The figures are simplified, yet their movement is palpable, capturing the urgency of seeking shelter from the rain. Van Gogh's personal style is evident in the thick application of paint and the expressive use of colour, transforming Hiroshige's print into a distinctly Post-Impressionist work.

Artist Biography
Vincent van Gogh
Van Gogh did not start painting until he was twenty-seven. Before that he tried being an art dealer (fired), a schoolteacher (quit), a bookshop assistant (quit), and a preacher in a Belgian mining town (dismissed for excessive zeal, which in this context meant giving away his clothes and sleeping on the floor). He had a pattern of total commitment followed by total collapse.
He taught himself to draw by copying prints and working through textbooks. His brother Theo, an art dealer in Paris, sent money every month for the rest of Vincent's life. Without Theo there are no paintings. The letters between them, over 600, are one of the most complete records of any artist's thinking. Van Gogh wrote about colour theory, composition, what he ate, what he read, how much he spent on paint. He was articulate and well-read and not, despite the popular version, simply mad.
He moved to Paris in 1886 and encountered Impressionism. The palette changed immediately: from the dark browns of his Dutch period to the colours people actually associate with his work. He met Gauguin, Pissarro, Signac, Toulouse-Lautrec. He absorbed Pointillism and Japanese prints. Then he moved to Arles in the south of France, where the light was better and people were fewer.
The Arles period produced Sunflowers, The Bedroom, Starry Night Over the Rhone. The breakdown followed: the argument with Gauguin, the severed ear (he cut part of his left ear, not the whole thing), the asylum at Saint-Remy, and then Auvers-sur-Oise, where he painted seventy canvases in seventy days before dying from a gunshot wound at thirty-seven. He sold one painting during his lifetime, or possibly two. Theo died six months later.
