🖼 Houses of Parliament, Sunset, 1900-1903
Oil on canvas

Golden light dissolves the Parliament's silhouette into shimmering color and mist, rendered through broken brushstrokes that blur form and atmosphere. Monet's series captured fleeting light effects on London's iconic facade, pioneering modern approaches to color perception and temporal change in painting.
