Waterloo Bridge, Sunlight Effect 1903

Claude Monet's "Waterloo Bridge, Sunlight Effect" from 1903, captures the essence of Impressionism. This painting showcases Monet's interest in depicting fleeting moments of light and atmosphere, particularly evident in the shimmering water reflecting the sun's rays. The brushstrokes are loose and visible, creating a sense of movement and immediacy, typical of Impressionist style. The bridge, a prominent London landmark, becomes a secondary element to the play of light and color, creating a dynamic composition that epitomizes Monet's approach to capturing the essence of nature.
