Houses of Parliament, London

By Claude Oscar Monet SKU:40606

"Claude Monet's "Houses of Parliament, London" (1904) epitomizes his masterful Impressionist style. Captured during a foggy dusk, Monet uses a haze of color and swift brushwork to express shifting light and atmosphere, rather than architectural detail. The painting is special because it's part of a series, each capturing different moods of the landmark across varying times and weather. This study of transient phenomena reflects Monet's fascination with the interplay of light, color, and perception, marking a significant step forward in the evolution of modern art."

Claude Monet, an acclaimed French Impressionist painter, is widely renowned for his captivating landscapes and ‘en plein air’ (outdoor) painting style. One of his standout works includes the “Houses of Parliament, London” series, offering an exquisite depiction of the British architectural marvel. Monet’s Houses of Parliament series, crafted during the twilight of the 19th century, remain integral to the history of Impressionist art.

The Houses of Parliament, London paintings were predominantly created during Monet’s three-month stay in London, from September to December of 1899, and subsequently in early 1900 and 1901. The final works were completed back in his Giverny studio in France in 1904. This series includes nearly 19 known canvases that illustrate the majestic Gothic Revival edifice from Monet’s vantage point at St. Thomas’ Hospital across the River Thames.

What makes the “Houses of Parliament, London” series exceptional lies in Monet’s exploration of the atmospheric changes on the architectural form. The ever-changing English weather offered Monet a myriad of differing lighting and fog conditions, which he exploited to create various renditions of the same subject. Each painting captures the Parliament buildings at different times of the day and in varying weather conditions, reflecting the ephemeral nature of light and color.
