More about this artwork

Oscar-Claude Monet's painting, "Waterloo Bridge, Gray Day" (1903), offers a masterful embodiment of the Impressionist movement, showcasing Monet's fascination with London's cityscape engulfed in fog. This evocative work captures a moody and mist-filled view of the Waterloo Bridge, with the flowing River Thames below and the industrialized backdrop of smokestacks and misty structures.The palette is subdued yet rich, dominated by grays and blues with subtle hints of pink and peach in the sky, reflecting the ambient light that filters through London’s infamous fog. This soft diffusion of light is a hallmark of Monet's work during his London period, where he tirelessly explored the interplay between light and architecture. Notably, Monet's technique involves quick, dappled brushstrokes that create a vibrant surface, capturing the fleeting moments of light and color.Waterloo Bridge, as depicted by Monet, shows both the grandeur and the atmospheric quality of London at the turn of the twentieth century. The industrial chimneys and the detailed, sturdy architecture of the bridge juxtaposed with the ephemeral light effects give this painting a unique sense of time and place.

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.
