The Houses of Parliament,Sunset 1903

Claude Monet’s “The Houses of Parliament, Sunset” (1903) captures the iconic London landmark bathed in the warm hues of a setting sun. The painting is a prime example of Monet’s Impressionistic style, characterized by short, broken brushstrokes and a focus on capturing light and atmosphere. The Houses of Parliament, with its towering clock tower, is rendered in a hazy, ethereal manner, seemingly dissolving into the shimmering water of the Thames. The sky above is a symphony of pastel colors, reflecting the fleeting beauty of the twilight hour. This celebrated work exemplifies Monet’s fascination with the ephemeral nature of light and its effect on the surrounding world.
