This original 1924 oil painting by acclaimed Colorado modernist John E. Thompson captures the architectural grandeur of High Bridge, New York City’s oldest standing bridge, as it spans the Harlem River. A powerful blend of realism and early modernist style, the composition highlights the bridge’s elegant arches and structural detail, all rendered in richly textured oil on canvas. Thompson’s masterful brushwork and use of color breathe life into the urban landscape, creating a dynamic visual tribute to one of NYC’s most iconic 19th-century engineering feats. The painting is signed and dated in the lower right corner, adding historical authenticity and collector appeal.
