Monet began this painting on one of his trips to London between 1899 and 1901, later revisiting it in his Giverny studio. X-radiography shows he initially included towers and smokestacks on the far bank. Ultimately, the artist focused on the “ghostly magnificence of London” through memory and imagination. Yet some traces of urban life remain: traffic bustles atop the bridge while two scullers in the foreground float along the water in the fog-cloaked glow of the sun.
