The Bridge at Villeneuve-la-Garenne is an oil on canvas painting by Alfred Sisley created in 1872.
It depicts a suspension bridge across the Seine looking toward the village of Villeneuve-la-Garenne. Holidaymakers can be seen on the river and along the riverbank. It is one of several paintings made by Sisley in the vicinity of the Île-Saint-Denis in 1872.
The bridge depicted was built in 1844 and replaced around 1900. It connects to present-day Avenue de Verdun in Villeneuve-la-Garenne, and the riverside road that runs north from the bridge now bears the name Quai Alfred Sisley.
The work is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.[1]
