MONET, Claude: The Houses of Parliament in London

🖼 The Houses of Parliament in London, 1904
Oil on canvas
81 × 92 cm
Paris, France

Soft light dissolves the Gothic facade of Parliament into luminous mist, rendered through delicate brushstrokes that capture fleeting atmospheric conditions. Monet's series revolutionized landscape painting by prioritizing light's changing effects over architectural detail, establishing Impressionism's scientific approach to color and perception.
