Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1904 · National Gallery of Art · 1983.1.27
In this full version of Waterloo Bridge at dusk, the turquoise Thames takes up almost half of the canvas. The purple bridge is cut out in a pink mist; orange lights run over the deck and the chimneys fade behind the atmosphere.

Look at the work
The bridge extends from edge to edge slightly above the center. Its regular arches are never traced by a single line: they arise from gaps between purple, blue and pink. The small orange touches of the apron evoke circulation and concentrate the light without interrupting the foggy continuity.
The Thames is colder than the sky. Its blues and turquoise darken under the arches, then warm with pink and yellow reflections. In the background, chimneys and industrial buildings are reduced to transparent verticals; their weakness gives all its depth to the scene.
At dusk, Monet separates neither architecture nor water from the atmosphere: each shape remains present, but none can be extracted from the colored mist.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

Warm accents are small and discontinuous. Their intensity must be preserved without transforming them into detailed vehicles or a uniform light line.
Each opening varies slightly in value and temperature. These differences avoid mechanical repetition and circulate the mist all the way under the bridge.
The touches of the water are longer and more horizontal than those of the sky. The roses remain occasional reflections, while the turquoise maintains the contrast of twilight.
Details and visual documents
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.

Documented benchmarks
These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.
This 65.7 × 101.6 cm oil on canvas is dated 1904 and listed as Wildenstein 1564. Monet signs lower right.
Monet observes Waterloo Bridge and the south bank of the River Thames from his rooms at the Savoy. The studies begun in London were then taken up together in his workshop in Giverny.
Durand-Ruel and Bernheim-Jeune bought the painting from Monet in December 1920. After Sam Salz, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon acquired it in 1960 then offered it to the National Gallery in 1983.
