Arches as a measure
The curves of the bridge give a stable structure in the middle of the dissolved shapes. Their repetition makes it possible to evaluate the distance despite the absence of clear contours.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1903 · Thames, Waterloo Bridge and London fog
The bridge, barges and chimneys do not disappear: they become blue presences inside a mist where water and sky share the same light.

Look at the work
From the Savoy Hotel, Monet observes the Waterloo Bridge from above. The arches cross the center of the painting, the barges slide over the Thames and the chimneys of the south bank rise into the fog like slightly darker verticals.
The palette tightened around blues, mauves and grays does not eliminate depth. She builds it by degrees: the more sustained surface of the river, the strip of the bridge, then the buildings gradually absorbed by the atmosphere.
Fog is not a veil placed in front of London: for Monet, it becomes the very material which connects the bridge, industry, water and the sky.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

The curves of the bridge give a stable structure in the middle of the dissolved shapes. Their repetition makes it possible to evaluate the distance despite the absence of clear contours.
The industrial verticals can be seen above the bridge. Monet transforms the pollution and steam of the modern city into variations in colored density.
No sun is drawn. The clarity diffuses throughout the canvas and changes the tones from blue-green to lilac, then to pinkish gray.

Documented benchmarks
The facts below concern this specific version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.
Monet devotes at least forty-one paintings to Waterloo Bridge, within a larger London complex including Charing Cross and Parliament.
During his stays in 1899, 1900 and 1901, Monet worked from a room in the Savoy overlooking the Thames. Several paintings were then taken up in Giverny.
The Hermitage presents this 1903 painting as the latest work in its room dedicated to Monet, in the General Staff Building.
