''Le Pont de l'Europe'' is an oil painting by French artist Gustave Caillebotte completed in 1876. The work is one of Caillebotte's most celebrated and is known for its unique perspective and representation of modern urban life in Paris during the late 19th century. The painting depicts the bustling activity around the Pont de l'Europe, a bridge that spans the railway yards at Saint-Lazare station, capturing the spirit of modernity that was transforming the city during the period known as the Second Empire under Napoleon III.

Measuring 125.6 cm × 181 cm (49.4 in × 71.3 in), the painting is a prominent example of the artist's interest in perspective and photographic framing, as well as his focus on the Haussmannization of Paris, which involved the renovation of the city with wide boulevards, new bridges, and modern urban infrastructure. Caillebotte's work is often associated with Impressionism, although his style also exhibits characteristics of Realism, particularly in his attention to detail and the realistic portrayal of figures and the urban landscape.

In ''Le Pont de l'Europe'', Caillebotte employs a radical perspective, with the bridge's iron structure creating a series of diagonal lines that draw the viewer's eye into the depth of the painting. The figures in the composition—a flâneur (an idler or lounger), a working-class man, and a woman accompanied by a small dog—represent the diverse social strata that coexisted in the modern city. The painting's viewpoint suggests the observer is another passerby, participating in the scene.

The work is notable for its exploration of contemporary themes such as the alienation of the individual within the city and the impact of industrialization on society. Caillebotte's use of cropping and his departure from traditional, central-perspective composition reflect the influence of photography on his work, which was a relatively new technology at the time.

''Le Pont de l'Europe'' is part of the collection of the Musée du Petit Palais in Geneva, Switzerland. It has been widely exhibited and studied, contributing significantly to the understanding of urban transformation in art and the development of modernist perspectives in the late 19th century. The painting remains an important work in the oeuvre of Gustave Caillebotte and a key piece in the history of French painting.
