Background
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. According to the Met, the painting is one of the few American impressionist painting to refer to industrialization.
