Waterloo Bridge, Sunlight Effect 1902

Claude Monet's "Waterloo Bridge, Sunlight Effect" (1902) is a quintessential Impressionist painting. The work captures the bridge in a hazy atmosphere, with soft, broken brushstrokes conveying the effects of light and air. The bridge itself is barely discernible, dissolving into the background, while the foreground focuses on the shimmering water and the small boats sailing beneath. This painting is an example of Monet's fascination with depicting the fleeting effects of light and weather, a hallmark of his artistic practice.
