Parliament, Reflections on the Thames 1905

Claude Monet's "Parliament, Reflections on the Thames" (1905), is an Impressionist masterpiece. The painting depicts the Houses of Parliament in London, England, with the Thames River in the foreground. The soft, brushstrokes, characteristic of Monet's style, capture the shimmering reflections of light on the water and the hazy atmosphere of the city. The composition is dominated by the silhouette of the iconic tower of Big Ben, which is framed by a sky filled with swirling clouds. This artwork, housed in the Musée Marmottan Monet, is a beautiful representation of Monet's exploration of light and color, as well as a homage to the architectural splendor of the British capital.
