The Bridges of Toulouse — Fine Art

The Bridges of Toulouse by Maurice Utrillo shows the river banks and crossings of a French city. Soft earth colours and pale sky sit under simple buildings. The paint is laid in loose layers, a style seen in early twentieth century French painting. A fine art print keeps these quiet tones on the page.

A white frame gives the picture a clean edge on the wall. The white border separates the soft river colours from the room and stops the image from looking thin. A wooden frame warms the grey water and the pale buildings.

It fits well above a desk in a study. The bridge lines sit low on the paper, so you notice the water first when you walk in. The room stays calm without bright colour on the wall.
