This version of the painting "Charing Cross Bridge" was created by Claude Monet in 1899. The artwork is part of a series of paintings featuring different views of the Thames River, in London. One year later, he once again captured the same landscape, although with a simpler composition and fewer nuances.

Monet, Light, and Mist

No one, like Monet, dedicated so much talent to showing the effect of light in mist. At first glance, a painting may seem bland; however, upon closer inspection, an unusual chromatic richness appears, which remains hidden due to the low contrast.

Elements of the Painting

The artwork depicts a winter morning with little movement in the normally bustling scene. It is one of the few paintings by Monet that we can still see today with few changes to the original landscape. During a visit to London, it is possible to clearly identify the bridge and the Gothic silhouettes on the right.

The Charing Cross Bridge is currently on display at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Madrid, Spain.
