Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1899 -1901 · Zurich · W1593
A creamy yellow light invades the sky, the bridge and the Thames until the contrasts are reduced to a minimum. Waterloo Bridge nevertheless remains perceptible by its blue-green arches, its pink line and the orange-brown sails which animate the river.

Look at the work
The sky occupies almost the upper half and has no sharp edges. Pale yellows, cold pinks, gray greens and a few blues overlap in thin layers. The distant shore is nothing more than a colorful vibration above the apron.
Under the bridge, the water takes on the same colors but in a more horizontal touch. The arches cool the range and the sails bring small red accents. This subtle organization makes it possible to distinguish air, stone and water without resorting to drawing.
Monet does not paint a white fog placed in front of London: he constructs a colorful atmosphere where each element remains readable by its temperature rather than by its outline.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

The yellows diffuse among the pinks and grays. No disc appears; light is present everywhere and should not be artificially concentrated.
Pale pink on the apron, blue-green in the arches and yellow on the small punctuations are enough to build Waterloo Bridge. The black lines would be foreign to this version.
The Thames fragments the colors of the bridge and sails. Horizontal gestures must retain their irregularity and changing direction.
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 exact view measures 2,400 × 1,543 px; the two additional details measure 1,500 × 750 px and 1,500 × 850 px. No files have been enlarged and all three images are real WebPs.
Documented benchmarks
These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.
This version was painted between 1899 and 1901 in oil on a 65 × 100 cm canvas. It is listed under Wildenstein number 1593.
The work belongs to the EG Bührle Collection Foundation. It is today documented and presented at the Kunsthaus Zürich under number BU 0074.
Monet takes over the bridge at different times and in several atmospheres. The paintings were started in front of the motif in London, then harmonized at length in his workshop in Giverny.
