An oil on canvas from the late nineteenth / early twentieth-century of "The bridge of Avignon" the Pont Saint-Bénézet or Le pont d'Avignon by Laurent Genin (1895-1953). The Pont d'Avignon is one of the most famous bridges in France dating from the twelfth-century and classified as a world heritage site. It no longer spans the river due to crusades and violent floodwaters of the Rhône River.
Works by Genin have been exhibited in Musee Calvet, Avignon.
This painting has been cleaned, re-varnished and re-framed.
