Houses of Parliament, Sunset (Le Parlement, coucher de soleil), 1904 by Claude Monet

Houses of Parliament, Sunset (Le Parlement, coucher de soleil), painted by Claude Monet in 1904 depicts the Palace of Westminster dissolving into the atmospheric Thames fog in a blaze of deep orange and violet, its silhouette rendered with the extraordinary chromatic intensity of his late Impressionist vision. The work belongs to his celebrated series of the Houses of Parliament, painted from his window at St Thomas’ Hospital and exhibited to great acclaim at Durand-Ruel’s Paris gallery in 1904. A deeply atmospheric and visually intense work for any interior drawn to the heights of French Impressionism.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1904.
