Introduction
The artwork "Thames and the Houses of Parliament 01. Monet" by collector Wu Zhixiong showcases the typical characteristics of Impressionism, perfectly merging the dynamic natural light and shadows with Monet's spirit of rebellion against the French Academy and the Salon system. Created in 1871, this oil painting depicts the surface of the Thames with lively brushstrokes, reflecting the light, while the Houses of Parliament appear grand and mysterious in the hazy light and shadows. The painting uses soft tones to present the scenery of morning or dusk, evoking a sense of tranquil and captivating beauty.
