Monet is perhaps best known for his series of paintings depicting water lilies at his home in Giverny. However, he also produced many cityscapes, seascapes, and landscapes. Between 1900 and 1905, Monet repeatedly painted the Palace of Westminster from the vantage point of St. Thomas' Hospital across the River Thames. He created nearly 100 canvases of the building under different conditions of light and weather. In this painting, the Houses of Parliament appear as a dark silhouette against a sky of yellow and gold. The Thames reflects the light, creating a shimmering effect. The scene is softened by a layer of fog, which was a common atmospheric condition in London at the time. Monet's loose brushstrokes and focus on light and colour capture the ephemeral quality of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/young-woman-sewing-mary-cassatt\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eYoung Woman Sewing - Mary Cassatt — Mary Cassatt\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-achille-granchi-taylor-paul-gauguin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Achille Granchi-Taylor - Paul Gauguin — Paul Gauguin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/claude-monet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Claude Monet →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Claude Monet","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57119872287055,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57119884509519,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57119884542287,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57119884640591,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57119884673359,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57119884706127,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57119884738895,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57119884771663,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57119884804431,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57119884837199,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57119884869967,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57119884902735,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_93ac8c50-3e7d-4afa-8897-da38aa2e2111.jpg?v=1777509065","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/houses-of-parliament-effect-of-fog-claude-monet","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
