Waterloo Bridge, Effect of Fog 1903

Claude Monet's "Waterloo Bridge, Effect of Fog" (1903) is a stunning Impressionist painting that captures the ethereal beauty of London's iconic bridge shrouded in fog. The painting is dominated by soft hues of blue and purple, creating a hazy and dreamlike atmosphere that underscores the fleeting nature of the scene. Visible through the veil of mist are the silhouette of the bridge and the surrounding cityscape, hinting at the bustling activity beneath the fog. This work is a testament to Monet's fascination with light and atmospheric effects, a hallmark of his later Impressionist period. The painting is currently housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
