Bridge in the rain (after Hiroshige) - Japonaiserie

Van Gogh saw Japanese prints for the first time in Antwerp. He greatly admired their bright colors and expressive character, and he soon began to collect them. In Paris he studied the work of the impressionists, coming to understand the influence these prints had had on the modern movement. He also organized an exhibition of his own collection in the spring of 1887 at the Café du Tambourin.
