Waterloo Bridge
1901
Claude Monet famously set up his easel right in his hotel room overlooking the Thames to capture London's infamous fog. He painted the Waterloo Bridge over and over, obsessing over how the smog and sunlight transformed the industrial landscape into a dreamy wash of lavender and gold. It's a perfect example of Impressionism, where the feeling of a fleeting moment matters more than crisp details. He actually created dozens of versions of this exact view, chasing the light until he was completely satisfied!
