What inspired Monet to paint Charing Cross Bridge?
Monet was captivated by the unique atmospheric conditions of London, specifically the way the city’s fog and smoke interacted with light. He painted the bridge repeatedly to capture different times of day and weather.
Why did Monet choose overcast weather for this specific piece?
Monet preferred the challenge of capturing 'the envelope'—the atmosphere surrounding the subject. Overcast weather provided a monochromatic harmony that allowed him to explore subtle variations in tone and texture.
