Monet Charing Cross Bridge, Fog on the Thames 1903 Art Print

A heavy silence hangs over the water as the London sun struggles to pierce through a thick, luminous shroud of blue-green mist. This print captures Claude Monet’s fascination with the atmospheric distortion of light, where the solid architecture of Charing Cross Bridge becomes a ghostly silhouette against the river.

About Claude Monet

Claude Monet (1840–1926) was a founder of French Impressionism; the movement takes its name from his painting Impression, Sunrise. His later years were devoted to the water garden he built at Giverny, the source of his famous Water Lilies series. Impressionism remains one of the easiest styles to live with, suiting almost any room. The original image dates from 1903.
