Monet, Light and Fog
No one like Monet devoted so much talent to capturing the effect of light in fog. At first glance the painting may seem bland, yet when observed closely it reveals an unusual chromatic richness, hidden by the lack of contrast.
Elements of the Painting
The work depicts a winter morning with little movement in a normally bustling scene. It is one of the few paintings by Monet in which we can still see the original landscape with few changes. In a visit to London, the bridge and the Gothic silhouettes on the right are clearly identifiable.
Charing Cross Bridge is currently on display at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, Spain.
This version of the painting "Charing Cross Bridge" was painted by Claude Monet in 1899. The work is part of a series of paintings with different views of the River Thames in London. A year later he painted the same landscape again, though with a simpler composition and fewer nuances.

Claude Monet, born in Paris in 1840, was a French painter and a central figure of Impressionism, a movement that irreversibly transformed the history of art. His work embodies the pure essence of this style: the exploration of light, atmosphere, and the fleeting moment. With a deeply observant eye and extraordinary mastery of color, Monet managed to capture in his canvases the vibration of the landscape and the immediate emotion of visual perception.
