ID: #3432 | Impressionism | Architecture

In 1870, Monet lived in London (for the French-Prussian war). Among others he painted a series of paintings of London-studies parliament. The main actor of these paintings was fog, which created the impression of images. Any details on the missing paintings. Parliament is backlit and its outlines deformed ubiquitous London Fog (Monet wondered, How could the English painters paint parliament and capturing details such as the contours of bricks when it is not for the fog to see?).

Prevailing color of this fine art print is vivid and its shape is landscape. This image is printed on demand - you can choose material, size and finishing.

Claude Oscar Monet (1840-1926). A native Parisian, who thoroughly developed the idea of Impressionism. Monet almost scientifically studied the effect of light on different objects. He devoted himself to so called transitory states, which quickly led him to work with colour and light, his paintings acting on the viewer from the first impression. His use of open-air painting and objects which were special only because of light opened the way for the beginnings of modern painting. Monet’s Impression, Sunrise (1874) not only gave the name to the whole art movement, but secured Monet a place among the best painters of all times. At one time, he resided in London and created his famous study Houses of Parliament (Monet wondered, How could the English painters paint Parliament when it cannot be seen for the fog?). In the Giverny, which became his favourite retreat after the death of his wife, he painted motifs from his garden and the popular series Water Lilies - the world of the water was as poetic and mysterious as a primordial paradise.
