Spanning the Mississippi just below St. Anthony Falls, the Stone Arch Bridge has anchored the Minneapolis riverfront for more than a century. Here it's caught after dark, when warm light washes across its curved stone spans and spills onto the water in long, shimmering reflections.
It's a quiet, atmospheric take on a landmark most people only see in daylight, the kind of image that rewards a second look, with the glow of the arches set against the deep black of the night river. For anyone who loves this city, it carries the unmistakable feeling of standing on the riverfront at the end of a long summer evening.
This piece works beautifully where you want depth and a sense of calm: a living room, a study, a hospitality or office space that benefits from a darker, luminous statement piece.
My work has been featured at Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport (Terminal 1) and the Minneapolis Convention Center, and can be seen in person at my studio in Gallery Aurora at the Northrup King Building, Minneapolis.
Recommended: High Gloss Metal. This is a night/luminous image, warm lights on a dark field, and metal is built for exactly this. The high-gloss surface makes the arch lights and water reflections glow and holds the deep blacks of the night sky without muddying them.
FAQ
Which print type should I choose? For this image, metal is the standout; the gloss makes the bridge lights and river reflections glow against the night. Acrylic offers the same luminous quality with extra depth, and fine art paper is the most flexible if you'd like to frame it your own way.
Is it ready to hang? Metal and acrylic prints arrive ready to hang straight out of the box. Fine art paper ships as a print only, so you can pair it with the frame and mat of your choice.
What sizes are available? A full range 40 x 60", plus custom sizing. If you have a specific wall or space in mind, contact me, and I'll help you size it.
How long until it ships, and what about shipping cost? Each print is made to order, typically within about 5 business days. Shipping is free on orders over $100.
Is this the real Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis? Yes, it's the historic Stone Arch Bridge crossing the Mississippi River near St. Anthony Falls, photographed at night from the riverfront.
Can I see it on my wall first? Yes. Use the Live Preview AR or Wall Preview tools on this page to place the piece on your own wall at true scale before you order.
