Claude Monet painted a series of paintings of the Palace of Westminster, home of the British Parliament, during his stays in London between the years 1900-1904. The paintings have all the same size and viewpoint[1], Monet's window at St Thomas' Hospital overlooking the Thames.They are however painted at different times of the day and at different weather circumstances.

Handmade oil painting reproduction of The Houses of Parliament (Sun Breaking through the Fog)  by Claude Monet. , one of the most famous paintings. The unreal ghostly outline of Parliament buildings looms up like an apparition. The stone architecture seems to have lost its substance. Sky and water are painted in the same tones, dominated by mauve and orange. The brushstrokes are systematically broken into thousands of colored patches to render the density of the atmosphere and the mist.

Paradoxically, these impalpable elements become more tangible than the evanescent building which seems to dissolve in the shadow.
