Claude Monet was one of the first Impressionists (giving the style its name), and stayed true to the school’s creed of documenting the painter’s sensory experience of the world. Monet’s conjuring of the feeling one might have on a foggy morning as one would view The Houses of Parliament from the famous footbridge over the Thames is a pure example of this late nineteenth century form.
