Did you know?
Claude Monet painted over a hundred views of London between 1899 and 1901, often returning to his hotel room overlooking the Thames to capture the changing light and fog. The "Houses of Parliament" series, in particular, showcases his fascination with the transient effects of light and atmosphere, resulting in a remarkable symphony of color and mood. He famously completed many of these works back in his studio, relying on sketches and memory.
