Description   

Claude Monet first traveled to London in 1870, to escape from the Franco-Prussian War. The marine scenes of Joseph Mallord William Turner fascinated him. He went back to London with the intention of painting in the fall of 1899. His seventh-floor suite at the Savoy Hotel had a view of the Thames River, with Waterloo Bridge and the factories of Southwark visible to the east, and Charing Cross Railway Bridge and the Palace of Westminster to the west. He spent six weeks executing quick studies with the intention of finishing them in his Giverny studio. Thirty-seven works from Monet's London series were exhibited at the Durand-Ruel Gallery, in Paris, in 1904.
