Claude Monet, a central figure in the Impressionist movement, is renowned for his en plein air landscape painting. One of his most famous works is the “Houses of Parliament, Sunset,” painted in 1904. This magnificent masterpiece is a shining example of Monet’s ability to capture the fleeting nuances of light, color, and atmosphere.

The “Houses of Parliament, Sunset” was part of Monet’s “Houses of Parliament” series, which comprised nearly 100 paintings, all depicting London’s iconic building at different times of the day and in varying weather conditions. Each painting was an exploration of the changing quality of light, a testament to Monet’s fascination with the subject.

Monet’s innovative approach towards painting light and color has made “Houses of Parliament, Sunset” a very special work of art. It is a striking image, where the setting sun casts a warm, luminous glow over the Parliament building, blurring its architectural details, rendering it almost abstract. This work is one of the finest examples of Monet’s exploration of how perceptions of the same subject can change under different light conditions. It stands as a monument to the painter’s unique ability to transform a familiar and oft-depicted landmark into something new and emotionally charged.
