About the piece

Painted in 1903 as part of his celebrated London series, Claude Monet captures the Houses of Parliament dissolved in the atmospheric haze of a winter sunset. The work masterfully illustrates the Impressionist focus on the ephemeral qualities of light and weather, with rhythmic brushstrokes of vibrant orange and deep teal reflecting across the surface of the Thames.
