Houses of Parlilament, Sunlight Effect 1901

Claude Monet’s 1901 painting "Houses of Parliament, Sunlight Effect" is a quintessential example of Impressionism. Monet's series on the Houses of Parliament, painted from his hotel room across the Thames, showcases the ever-changing effects of light on the iconic London landmark. The brushstrokes are visible and blend together to create a sense of atmospheric haze, particularly in the sky, while the water is depicted with vibrant yellow and orange hues, reflecting the setting sun. This artwork captures the fleeting beauty of a moment in time.
