A yellow and pink gap hits the Thames, transforms the barges into flashes of light and lets the bridge float in a purple fog: this version contrasts the cold shadow with an almost incandescent light.

Look at the work

A reflection of sunshine organizes the entire view of London

Waterloo Bridge appears as a purple silhouette above a deep blue river. On the right, an area of yellows, whites and roses concentrates the light and guides the eye towards the boats. The factories on the south bank are nothing more than red and purple masses in the sky.

Monet maintains the same view as in other versions of the series, but completely changes the colored balance. The light center is not painted like a solar disk: it manifests itself by its broken reflections, scattered horizontally on the surface of the Thames.

Here the real subject is neither the bridge nor the city: it is the meeting of a ray of sunshine with water and fog.

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 Waterloo Bridge, sun effect - Claude Monet
01

Off-center light

The lightest area is on the right and at the bottom. This voluntary imbalance gives movement to a composition that is nevertheless built on long horizontals.

02

Blue as depth

The densest blues occupy the foreground. They move the water towards the viewer while the bridge and sky dissolve into lighter mauves.

03

The barges caught in the reflection

The small boats can be read thanks to a few dark touches surrounded by yellow. They give the scale of the river and interrupt the flicker.

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 sun fragmented on the ThamesThe detail shows that yellows and whites do not form a uniform spot: they alternate with blues and pinks which maintain the vibration of the water.

The work actually exhibitedThis photograph taken at the Milwaukee Art Museum preserves the carved frame and shows the colorimetry of the canvas under gallery lighting.

The gallery combines a clean view in 1200 × 977 px, cropping without oversampling and a real photograph of the work framed in 2244 × 1892 px. Museum photo: Sailko, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 3.0; WebP conversion.

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.

Dating01

Painted around 1900, signed 1903

The Milwaukee Art Museum dates the performance around 1900 and specifies that Monet brought the date 1903 to the canvas, the year he exhibited the series in Paris.

Format02

A slightly horizontal square

With 73.82 × 98.11 cm, this version is less elongated than that of Ordrupgaard. The solar reflection thus occupies a significant part of the surface.

Provenance03

Legacy of Mrs. Albert T. Friedmann

The work entered the Milwaukee Art Museum by the bequest of Mrs. Albert T. Friedmann. Its inventory number is M1950.3.

Your reproduction

What the painter must preserve

Fidelity here depends on precise relationships between light, touch, depth and color temperature.

  • The opposition between deep blues and bright yellows
  • The solar reflection constructed by separate touches
  • The bridge visible without a rigid contour line
  • The dark barges in the heart of the light zone

Presentation in your interior

A palette designed with the room

Intense blues and golden highlights provide more contrast than other Waterloo Bridges. The canvas works particularly well on a light, midnight blue or warm gray wall, with soft side lighting.
