The Houses of Parliament, Sunset - Claude Monet
The London Parliaments series is a set of paintings by the impressionist painter Claude Monet between 1900 and 1904. It was mainly observed by the painter from a terrace of St. Thomas Hospital located on the opposite bank of the river, near Westminster Bridge. An unreal and ghostly silhouette, the Parliament appears like an apparition. The stone architecture seems to have lost all consistency. Sky and water are painted with the same tones, dominated by mauve and orange. The brushstroke is systematically fragmented into multiple colored spots, to render the density of the atmosphere and the mist. The painting reminds us of his most famous work, Impression, Sunrise.
