Gustave Caillebotte | Il ponte dell'Europa, 1876
Le Pont de l'Europe / Il ponte dell'Europa è un dipinto del pittore Francese Gustave Caillebotte, realizzato nel 1876 e conservato al Museo del Petit Palais di Ginevra.
In questo dipinto il pennello solerte e affettuoso di Caillebotte si rivolge alla sua città natale, Parigi, raffigurandone una delle piazze più moderne e vibranti, ovvero Place de l'Europe.
Si tratta di un mastodontico ponte ferroviario, inaugurato nel 1868, che si estende sul parco binari della stazione di Saint-Lazare raccordando ben sei strade, ciascuna delle quali prende il nome di una specifica capitale europea.
La visuale colta dall'opera, in particolare, è quella che si apre da rue de Vienne, guardando verso il centro della piazza.
