A Parliament reduced to two verticals
The towers should not become too dark. They are painted transparent blue gray and remain surrounded by pink, like an image perceived through several layers of humid air.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1903 · Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon · W1524
Charing Cross Bridge crosses a silver-pink Thames almost in the middle of the painting. On the right, the towers of Parliament emerge like two blue shadows; in the center, a small boat breaks the flicker of the water. The mist connects the sky, architecture and reflections in an extremely pale range where every slight difference in color becomes significant.

Look at the work
The sky occupies the upper half and mixes powder pink, pearl gray, lavender and a few yellows. The towers of Westminster stand on the right without a firm outline. Near the bridge, whiter smoke signals the passage of trains and suggests the bank behind them.
The blue-green apron divides the canvas into two strips. Beneath it, the piles descend into water covered with small touches of cream and pink. A slightly off-center dark boat provides the only figurative accent in the foreground, while a blue-purple bank closes the lower right corner.
The composition is due to tiny gaps: a slightly colder blue is enough to make a tower, a pile or a boat emerge from the fog.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

The towers should not become too dark. They are painted transparent blue gray and remain surrounded by pink, like an image perceived through several layers of humid air.
The apron is a slightly irregular blue-green stripe. The piles are short and extend immediately into the water, where their reflections mingle with the clear flickers.
The white, cream, pink and mauve touches are small but not regular. Their density increases under the deck and around the boat, which builds depth without a precise shoreline.

Documented benchmarks
These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.
The Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon titles the work Charing Cross Bridge, the Thames and the date 1903. This oil on canvas measures 73.4 × 100.3 cm and corresponds to number 1524 of the Wildenstein catalog.
The work joined the Lyon collections thanks to the legacy of Raymond Koechlin in 1933. It bears the inventory number B 1725 and constitutes one of the museum's major impressionist paintings.
Monet observed Charing Cross Bridge from the Savoy Hotel during his stays in London. He then reworked the paintings in his studio and presented the series at Durand-Ruel in 1904, making atmospheric variation the real subject of the whole.
