After training as an actor, Henri Perrin Maxence devoted himself to painting and exhibited from 1909 at the Salon des Indépendants.
Initially influenced by the Nabis, his painting became closer to Post-Impressionism when he joined Armand Guillaumin in the Creuse valley. In the 1930s, he became one of the most prominent representatives of the Crozant School.
The landscape with the bridge is characteristic of the 1920s when the synthetism that Perrin Maxence had adopted at Pont Aven asserted itself through color in a post-impressionist manner with fauve accents.
