Charing Cross Bridge, The Thames is a 1903 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, depicting river thames, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
This painting shows a hazy, misty cityscape. The scene is set over a body of water, with a bridge crossing it. The sky above is a mix of yellow, orange, and grey hues. In the foreground, the water reflects the colors of the sky, creating a sense of depth. The bridge, likely Charing Cross Bridge, stretches across the painting, its details blurred by the mist. The artist's use of light and color creates a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up the term "impasto".
