Houses of Parliament, Effect of Sunlight in the Fog 1904

"Houses of Parliament, Effect of Sunlight in the Fog" (1904) by Claude Monet is a quintessential Impressionist work. The painting depicts the Houses of Parliament in London, partially obscured by fog, with the sun breaking through the haze. Monet’s signature brushstrokes and use of color create a shimmering, atmospheric effect. This piece is a testament to Monet's fascination with capturing the fleeting effects of light and weather on the landscape. The painting exemplifies the Impressionist movement's focus on capturing the ephemeral and subjective experience of visual perception.
