Description
Claude Monet was enchanted by the mysterious light generated by London's famous "smog", and the city he loved is now hosting a new show recognising his strange fascination. It will be the first time that his paintings of the UK's Houses of Parliament and the River Thames will be exhibited in the city, as he had wished 120 years ago. Monet's favourite season in London was winter, when "the fog mixed with all the pollution, the smoke from the factories, all the particles in the air," explains Karen Serres, curator of the exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery.
