More about this artwork

Explore Claude Monet's mesmerizing rendition of London's bustling cityscape in "Charing Cross Bridge" painted in 1900. Monet, a pioneer of French Impressionism, captures more than just the physical structure of the famed bridge over the River Thames; he immerses the viewer in a fog-blanketed atmosphere, a signature of London’s cityscape.In this painting, the soft, muted palette of grays and blues, interspersed with gentle pinks and oranges, evokes a dream-like quality that transcends the simple depiction of a city scene. Monet’s method of loose brushwork provides a sense of the fleeting moment, with the bridge barely discernible under the envelope of fog. The reflections in the water are subtly colored, suggesting a mirage of the sky's light breaking through the dense fog."Charing Cross Bridge" is not just a geographical representation but an emotional portrayal, reflecting Monet's deep fascination with light and atmosphere. The bridge and its surroundings appear as if emerging from the haze, a metaphor perhaps for the dawn of a new century.

Oscar-Claude Monet was a founder of French Impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature. Monet's ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene many times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons. From 1883 Monet lived in Giverny, where he purchased a house and property, and began a vast landscaping project which included lily ponds that would become the subjects of his best-known works. In 1899 he began painting the water lilies, first in vertical views with a Japanese bridge as a central feature, and later in the series of large-scale paintings that was to occupy him continuously for the next 20 years of his life.
