Visible towers without drawn outline
Westminster silhouettes are obtained by several very close purples. Their edges should remain diffuse so that they appear distant rather than simply blurry.

Claude Monet · London, 1899 · Santa Barbara Museum of Art · W1522
In a yellow, pink and lavender mist, Charing Cross Bridge becomes an almost transparent strip. The towers of Westminster stand on the right like two purple silhouettes; on the left, three white puffs betray the passage of a train. A small dark boat is enough to bring the Thames closer to the viewer in this particularly clear and abstract version.

Look at the work
The sky occupies more than half of the canvas. Monet superimposes very pale yellows, cold pink, pearl gray and purple without drawing a clear limit. The two towers of Westminster emerge in the upper right quarter, but their contours disperse in the atmosphere. On the left, the city is nothing more than a purple mass crossed by small clear fumes.
The deck of the bridge cuts the canvas in the middle with a blue stripe punctuated with vertical piles. Underneath it, the Thames takes on the same colors as the sky, but with shorter and more horizontal touches. A black boat, slightly to the left of the center, provides the only strong contrast; the purple bank at the bottom right then closes the foreground.
The structure of the bridge remains legible, but everything around it shows that Monet paints London less than the colorful thickness of his air.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

Westminster silhouettes are obtained by several very close purples. Their edges should remain diffuse so that they appear distant rather than simply blurry.
Three small white masses on the left indicate the train. Their position above the deck confirms the railway function of the bridge without adding any descriptive detail.
The dark shape of the foreground is tiny but decisive. It gives scale to the bridge piers and prevents the pastel tablecloth from becoming entirely abstract.
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 best documented native view of this version measures 1046 × 857 px. The two details of 750 × 520 px and 700 × 500 px are taken directly from this file, without artificial enlargement. All three media were encoded and controlled as true WebPs.
Documented benchmarks
These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.
This oil on canvas from 1899 measures 65.7 × 81.6 cm. Preserved at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art under number 1968.20.4, it is listed as Wildenstein 1522.
During his stays in London between 1899 and 1901, Monet observed Charing Cross Bridge from his balcony at the Savoy Hotel. He began his paintings on site, at different times, then continued their development in his workshop in Giverny.
The museum says the painting was bequeathed by Katharine Dexter McCormick in memory of her husband Stanley McCormick. Its exhibit notice describes it as one of the most abstract interpretations of the bridge in the series.
