About the piece
Created in 1903 as part of Claude Monet's celebrated London series, this work captures the Gothic towers of Parliament through a dense, atmospheric fog. The architecture is rendered in deep violets and blues, contrasting with the soft, glowing oranges of a sunset reflecting off the surface of the Thames. It is a quintessential example of Monet's late-career obsession with capturing the transient effects of light and weather.
