Charing Cross Bridge 1899

"Charing Cross Bridge" (1899) by Claude Monet is an iconic Impressionist painting that captures the ethereal beauty of the Thames River in London. Monet's signature use of short, broken brushstrokes and vibrant colors creates a sense of movement and atmospheric light. The bridge itself is almost obscured by the hazy morning mist, emphasizing the fleeting nature of the scene. The painting's soft palette of blues, greens, and yellows evokes a sense of tranquility and peace, showcasing Monet's masterful ability to depict the interplay of light and water.
