Claude Monet
French, 1840-1926

Houses of Parliament in the Fog, 1903
Oil on canvas

Purchase with the Great Painting Fund in
honor of Sarah Belle Broadmax Hansell, 60.5

London's Houses of Parliament loom through
the thick fog that covers the River Thames.
Claude Monet's composition, which does not
suggest depth and which features loose, free
brushwork, verges on abstraction.
