Claude Monet painted Waterloo Bridge in soft morning light. The bridge looks ghostly in misty grays and pinks. You can almost feel the damp London air. Monet stayed at the Savoy Hotel to watch the bridge fade and reappear in fog. He painted it over and over, chasing how light changed everything. See this one in person at the Art Institute of Chicago.
