Charing Cross Bridge 03 1899

Claude Monet's "Charing Cross Bridge 03," painted in 1899, captures the ethereal beauty of London's Charing Cross Bridge bathed in a hazy, atmospheric light. The Impressionist style is evident in the short, broken brushstrokes and the emphasis on capturing the fleeting effects of light and color. The scene is dominated by the pale blues and greens of the water and sky, with the bridge and the towers of the Houses of Parliament appearing as indistinct forms in the distance. Monet's series of paintings depicting the bridge at various times of day and under different weather conditions exemplify his fascination with the transformative power of light and its impact on the visual world.
