Reproduction details

Claude Monet · 1900 -1901 · Chicago · W1600

The Parliament of London, Chicago W1600hand painted reproduction

The Palace of Westminster stands in a pale blue mist where the towers, the sky and the Thames share almost the same values. A few gray pinks and greens warm the atmosphere, while a small dark boat is enough to give scale. This version of Chicago is one of the clearest and quietest in the London series.

Look at the work

Parliament is formed by differences of light more than by contours

The Victoria Tower rises near the center left, accompanied on the right by the lower mass of the building. Monet describes neither the windows nor the neo-Gothic details: blue, green and purple verticals emerge from a milky sky. The edges remain open and change depending on the density of the key.

The Thames occupies almost the lower half. The reflections take on the same blue-gray as the architecture, but in the form of small horizontal bands. In the foreground, a red-brown boat and its wake introduce an oblique movement into this very stable construction.

The mist does not hide the monument: it allows Monet to reconstruct it like a succession of colorful temperatures.

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 Parliament of London, Chicago W1600 - Claude Monet
01

A silhouette obtained without a hard line

The towers appear by superpositions of blue, gray green and mauve. A continuous dark design would make the building too sharp and remove the impression of steam.

02

A sky and water deliberately close

The two areas share a clear range. Their difference comes mainly from the direction of the keys: more floating in the sky, more horizontal and fragmented in the Thames.

03

A small boat that regulates the entire scale

The boat in the foreground remains discreet but essential. Its red-brown value gives weight to the bottom of the canvas and measures the distance which separates the spectator from Parliament.

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.

Towers absorbed by lightThe detail shows that the silhouette is never monochrome. Blue, green gray, pink and purple overlap in the towers as in the sky, with interrupted contours.

The boat and the reflections of the ThamesIn the foreground, the small horizontal bands mix gray blue and pale pink. The red-brown boat creates the only truly dark accent in this part of the work.

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

Chicago 1933.1164, Wildenstein 1600

The Art Institute dates this oil on canvas to 1900 -1901. It measures 81.2 × 92.8 cm, or 103.6 × 115 × 10.8 cm with its frame, and bears the Claude Monet signature in light red-brown paint at the bottom right.

Viewpoint02

The terrace of Saint Thomas's Hospital

During his London campaigns, Monet painted Parliament in the late afternoon and sunset from the opposite bank of the River Thames. This viewpoint raised the silhouette above the water while keeping river traffic in the foreground.

Technical study03

A heavily reworked linen canvas

The Chicago review describes a non-standard format pre-glued linen canvas, likely commissioned for the artist, with a two-layer off-white background. The blue-gray and green-gray were taken up densely, then punctuated with pale pink and bright blue finishing touches.
