It is the sixth named bridge on the "Artists' Promenade".

J. Van Den Seylbergh is a painter and pastel artist born in Antwerp on March 6, 1884, died in Knokke on August 11, 1960.

After the war, he returned to Belgium and settled first in Westerlo then from 1921 in Aarschot, where he restored the Adoration of the Kings by Gasapard De Crayer, damaged in the fire of the Notre-Dame church in August 1914. From 1924 to 1940 his artistic production was considerable, as was the number of exhibitions in which he participated. It was during this period that he became friends with several artists, including James Ensor and Firmin Baes.

When the Second World War broke out, Van den Seylberg fled to the south of France, and in the summer of 1940 he exhibited in Ardèche, in Annonay. Returning to Belgium in 1941, he settled in Kessel-Lo then, in 1943, in Spa where he was officially domiciled from 1948. He exhibited there several times (at the Auberge de La Vieille France, at the Casino and with the architect Armand Micha). In 1950, he left Spa for Knokke where a friend rented him a newly built villa ("La Garoupe"). He died there on August 11, 1960.

The 'artists' walk' is a beautiful walk which runs along the 'Ruisseau de la Picherotte', a valley with white water which has inspired several artists. Since 2014, 7 bridges over the water have been named after local artists.
