Reproduction details

Claude Monet · 1899 · Shelburne Museum · W1521

The Charing Cross Bridge, Shelburne W1521hand painted reproduction

The bridge crosses the canvas like a blue-purple strip above a Thames covered with yellow, white and pink shards. A train can be seen by its small dark locomotives and colorful plumes, while Parliament is reduced to a blue vertical in the mist. Shelburne's version is exceptionally light and silvery.

Look at the work

The train passes through a light so dense that the bridge appears to float above the water

The deck is placed slightly above the middle. Its piers descend into the Thames in the form of blue rectangles with open contours. On the left, the first arch is darker; towards the center, the illuminated water passes between the supports and transforms the bridge into a succession of solids and voids.

The train's fumes form a discontinuous chain of purple, pink and white. Parliament appears very far away, on the right, under a pale blue silhouette barely more sustained than the sky. In the foreground, a small vertical boat and a purple-blue plant mass give weight to the shimmering light.

Monet does not paint a bridge placed in fog: he makes mist, smoke and reflections the very materials of architecture.

Composition, touch and light

What Monet builds behind the impression of snapshot

Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

Analysis of The Charing Cross Bridge, Shelburne W1521 - Claude Monet
01

A bridge reduced to a strip and a few piers

The apron remains almost horizontal, but its edges dissolve in smoke and light. The piles change width and value depending on the reflections surrounding them.

02

A train visible through smoke before the machine

The small purple masses on the bridge would be easy to grow. Their discretion is essential: it is especially the pink-white plumes which describe the movement of the convoy.

03

A Thames built by sparkle

The clear keys are short, tight and slightly oblique. They should not become regular points; their density varies around the piers and the central boat.

Details and visual documents

Observe the material and the exact version

The additional images show the difficult-to-read passages in the full view and, where it exists, the actual appearance of the work at the museum.

The train and its colorful fumesThe detail shows that the locomotives are only small touches of blue-purple. Pink and white plumes mingle in the sky, while light passes through the arches below.

Parliament, the boat and the bank in the foregroundThe silhouette of Westminster remains almost transparent. Further down, yellow and blue reflections surround a discreet boat before meeting the dark mass of the right bank.

The photograph published by the Shelburne Museum measures 1,246 × 862 px. The details of 650 × 680 px and 596 × 650 px remain at their native definition, without enlargement. All three images are real WebPs.

Documented benchmarks

Three pieces of information specific to this work

These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.

Identification01

Shelburne 1972-69.3, Wildenstein 1521

The museum titles the work The Thames at Charing Cross Bridge, London and dates from 1899. This oil on canvas measures 25 × 35 3/8 inches, or approximately 63.5 × 89.9 cm, and belongs to the collection offered by the Electra Havemeyer Webb Fund.

Collection02

A Havemeyer acquisition recommended in Mary Cassatt's circle

The Shelburne Museum recalls that the Havemeyers purchased this London view shortly after its execution, even before the major exhibition of London paintings organized in 1904. The work then joined the collection founded by their daughter Electra Havemeyer Webb.

London series03

The train and boats as signs of modernity

From 1899, Monet stayed in London for three winters and painted from the Savoy Hotel. In this version, the railway, the smoke and the river traffic are not accessories: they structure a modern vision of the Thames.
