Description


The Red Bridge was painted by Weir as an impressionist work; the artist had previously been a detractor of impressionism. The bridge depicted in the painting was a then-new iron truss bridge built over the Shetucket River in Windham, Connecticut.[1] Weir initially viewed the bridge with distaste - it had replaced an older covered bridge he was fond of - but eventually chose to painting a picture of it.[1][2]

According to the Met, the painting is one of the few American impressionist painting to refer to industrialization.[1]
