• Instagram, At the turn of the twentieth century, Claude Monet made three trips to London, where he was captivated by the visual effects of the city’s thick smog. Stationed on the balcony of Saint Thomas’ Hospital, Monet painted nineteen versions of his view across the river: the Houses of Parliament in changing weather and light conditions. Here, he downplays the building’s architectural detail, choosing instead to focus on rendering the shimmering water and sunlight breaking through the haze in loose, overlapping strokes of color. ⌛ Today (9/15) is your last chance to see this work before “Monet to Matisse: French Moderns” closes! — Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926), “Houses of Parliament, Sunlight Effect,” 1903. Oil on canvas; 32 × 36 1/4 in. @BrooklynMuseum, Bequest of Grace Underwood Barton, 68.48.1 [ID: Painting of silhouette of Gothic buildings on a river obscured in lavender haze with sun breaking through at top right.]
