He worked from a room at the Savoy Hotel, observing the Thames and the silhouette of the Palace of Westminster. This series of paintings captures the shifting atmospheric conditions of the city, particularly the interaction between sunlight and the thick London fog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this specific composition, the sun is a glowing orb obscured by haze, casting a warm, fiery light across the sky and the water. The architecture of the Houses of Parliament appears as a dark, monolithic shape against the luminous background. Monet used short, rapid brushstrokes to build the surface, prioritising the perception of light over the precise definition of form. The reflection of the sun on the river surface creates a vertical axis of colour that balances the horizontal expanse of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonet returned to these canvases in his Giverny studio, refining the surfaces and colour harmonies before exhibiting them in 1904. The work demonstrates his focus on seriality, where the same subject is revisited under different conditions to explore the transient nature of visual experience. The palette relies on contrasting tones, with deep blues and purples in the shadows set against the orange and yellow hues of the setting sun. This approach creates a sense of depth and atmosphere without relying on traditional linear perspective. The painting is a study of light, colour, and the physical environment of the Thames at the turn of the twentieth century.\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=\"\/it\/products\/autumn-kimon-loghi\" 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;\"\u003eAutumn by Kimon Loghi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/sails-on-the-oise-gustave-loiseau\" 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;\"\u003eSails on the Oise by Gustave Loiseau\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/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;\"\u003eClaude Monet prints →\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":59147295293775,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147298636111,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147298668879,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147298701647,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147298734415,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147298767183,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147298799951,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147298832719,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147298865487,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147298898255,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147298931023,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147298963791,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Houses-of-Parliament-Sunset_Poster_CompositorV1_1792471592911.jpg?v=1792471892","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/it\/products\/houses-of-parliament-sunset-claude-monet","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
