Bridges across the Seine at Asnieres - Vincent van Gogh (1887)

Here we can see van Gogh's style point at something to come later - cubism. Typically his style is longer strokes, ie Starry Night, to convey motion or movement of light. Here however his strokes are short - almost to pointillism, but this predates cubism by nearly 20 years.

It's very interesting! I cloud see the strokes typical for van Gough but wouldn't have guessed it was from him!
