What inspired Monet to paint Charing Cross Bridge?
Monet was captivated by the "London fog" and how it filtered sunlight. He painted the bridge repeatedly to capture the shifting atmospheric effects and the dissolution of form in light.
Why is the London series significant in Impressionism?
The London series, including the Thames bridges, demonstrates Monet's mastery of the "enveloppe"—the atmosphere surrounding objects—marking a transition toward the abstraction found in his later Water Lilies.
