Waterloo Bridge, Sunlight Effect

The painting Waterloo Bridge, Sunlight Effect, an oil on canvas created by Claude Monet in 1903, is currently held at the McMaster Museum of Art. The artwork measures 1.0 meters in width and 0.65 meters in height.

The painting depicts the Waterloo Bridge in London, shrouded in a veil of atmospheric fog and sunlight. Rendered in Monet's signature Impressionistic style, the bridge and surrounding cityscape appear as hazy, indistinct forms, their outlines blurred by the misty atmosphere. The use of predominantly cool, pale blues and purples evokes a sense of tranquility and ethereal beauty, capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere that so fascinated the artist.
