Vincent van Gogh painted several versions of the Langlois Bridge, also known as Pont de Langlois, during his time in Arles in 1888. He was captivated by the area's scenery and the daily life around the bridge, which reminded him of his native Holland. The vibrant colors and distinct brushwork used here are characteristic of his Arles period, where he explored brighter palettes.
