The Living Stream at London Bridge - On the Bridge is a 1863 by George Louis Palmella Busson Du Maurier, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a bustling scene of people on London Bridge. The crowd is diverse, with men and women of various ages and social classes. Some wear top hats and coats, while others have more casual attire. In the background, a sign reads "London Bridge" and a lamppost stands tall. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the scene. The contrast between light and dark areas draws the viewer's eye through the composition. The Cleveland Museum of Art holds this painting, which is a great example of the Realism movement.
