London. Parliament. Reflections on the Thames is a 1905 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Musée Marmottan Monet.
The painting depicts a foggy scene of the Thames River in London, with the Houses of Parliament visible in the background. The scene is dominated by shades of gray and blue, with touches of yellow and orange. A notable detail is the way the artist has captured the reflection of the buildings on the water's surface, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of light and color, you might want to look up the technique of glazing.
Oscar-Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840, and raised from the age of five in Le Havre, where he began selling charcoal caricatures as a teenager.
