Highlights of Monet and Architecture

Waterloo Bridge, the Sun in the Fog/Monet
At the National Gallery.... Gorgeous reds and purples in the 1908 paintings of Renaissance palaces on the Grand Canal - the Palazzo Dario and the Palazzo Contarini.... The sun in the fog over Waterloo Bridge .... and the paintings of Rouen Cathedral in 1894 which are so impressionistic that they are almost abstract....
