The Houses of Parliament in London Are Based on Which Period of Art?

1900/01

Claude Monet
French, 1840-1926

During his London campaigns, Claude Monet painted the Houses of Parliament in the tardily afternoon and at sunset from a terrace at Saint Thomas'due south Hospital. This viewpoint was shut to that of the English artist J. Thou. W. Turner in his visionary paintings of the fire that had destroyed much of the old Parliament complex in 1834. In his response to the verse of dusk and mist, however, Monet was really inspired by the work of a more recent painter of the Thames, the American James McNeill Whistler.
