The apron should not become a dark headband. Its changing greens and blues let yellow light circulate above, below and between the piles.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1902 · Chartwell · NT 1102455
A yellow fog invades the sky and the Thames until it brings together the two halves of the canvas. Charing Cross Bridge forms a very low blue-green line; a train and its purple smoke animate the center, while the Victoria Tower barely appears on the right.

Look at the work
The bridge line crosses the canvas just below the middle. The blue-gray piers descend into the water in irregular reflections, but their structure remains deliberately thin. In the center, the locomotive is only a mauve blue mass topped with a pink and purple plume which drifts to the right.
The yellow cast is not uniform. It changes from golden ocher to pale green, then lilac gray at the edges. To the right, a few turquoise verticals indicate the Victoria Tower and the buildings of Westminster. In the Thames, small pink, blue and green horizontals prevent the reflection from becoming flat.
The bridge and the city only resist fog with a few cold blues; yellow becomes air, light and the surface of the water at the same time.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

The apron should not become a dark headband. Its changing greens and blues let yellow light circulate above, below and between the piles.
The mauve mass and pink plume are more important than the mechanical details. Reproduction must suggest movement without inventing a drawn locomotive.
The turquoise verticals are very weak. Reinforcing them excessively would remove the atmospheric depth that distinguishes this version of Chartwell.
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.


The main view measures 1320 × 941 px. Details of 800 × 420 px and 720 × 470 px come directly from NT version 1102455. No magnification was applied; all three files are true verified WebPs.
Documented benchmarks
These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.
The National Trust keeps this 64.1 × 90.2 cm oil on canvas, dated 1902 and listed as Wildenstein 1540. Monet signs lower left.
Monet looks west from the Savoy Hotel. Charing Cross Bridge crosses the River Thames, with the Palace of Westminster and Victoria Tower dissolved in the distance.
Emery Reves gave the painting to Winston Churchill in 1949, on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday. Today it belongs to the National Trust collections at Chartwell.
