Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1899 -1901 · Zurich · W1593
The Thames, the bridge and the sky respond to each other in a range of pale yellow, pink, blue and sea green. Waterloo Bridge almost seems to be dematerializing, but its rhythm of arches and the red sails in the foreground give this solar vision a very controlled architecture.

Look at the work
Monet avoids black contrasts. The bridge is formed by roses warmer than the sky, while its openings rest on slightly colder blues. The piles lengthen in reflections without producing mechanical symmetry.
On the left, the bank and the smoke merge into yellow and gray-green passages. On the right, the sailboats and a few small touches on the apron bring human activity. These accents remain tiny so that light remains the main subject.
The precision of this canvas does not come from the design of the buildings, but from the balance between very close colors which distinguish air, stone and water.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

Buildings and smoke are reduced to green-gray and cream passages. Their density must remain slightly higher than the sky without forming a dark mass.
Each opening changes the temperature of the central strip. Their rhythm gives the bridge its length and maintains depth in a very clear atmosphere.
The small vertical shapes of the river bring the warmest tones. They prevent horizontal reflections from becoming a uniform surface.

This version from 1899 -1901 is an oil on canvas measuring 65 × 100 cm. Claude Monet's catalog raisonné lists it under number 1593.
The work belongs to the EG Bührle Collection Foundation. Its presentation identifier at Kunsthaus Zürich is BU 0074.
Monet takes over Waterloo Bridge in many states of the sky. The pattern remains stable, but its readability changes depending on the sun, fog and smoke of the industrial city.
