Claude Monet's painting of Westminster Bridge is one of several works that the artist dedicated to the city of London. Monet visited the British capital at different times, in particular during the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) and then again between 1899 and 1901.
In these series of paintings, Westminster Bridge, along with the Houses of Parliament and other views of the Thames, became a recurring subject. The artist was fascinated by the unique atmosphere of London, especially the fog and the light effects it created, which transformed the appearance of the buildings and the river. For Monet, the fog was not an obstacle, but an element that gave the city a "mysterious grandeur" and a "magnificent breadth".
His London works often capture the bridge and its surrounding context in different weather conditions and times of day, exploring how light and haze altered the colours and contours.
