The LONDON FOG

               The FOG, Claude Monet once remarked: "London would not be a beautiful city,




it is the fog that gives it its beautiful breadth." While working on his London series, he got up early every day to visit the Waterloo Bridge in the morning. to paint, to go to Charing Cross Bridge in the afternoon and in the afternoon.




He observed both motifs from his window on the fifth floor in the Savoy Hotel. The two Waterloo Bridge paintings of the Kunstinstituut date from 1900 and 1903, but both probably started in 1900 and only started when Monet felt they were done. He worked on all of his paintings in London in his studio in Giverny, and refused to send them to his dealer until he was satisfied with them as an ensemble.
