Claude Monet's Impressionism series "Houses of Parliament, Westminster" captures the iconic British Parliament across the Thames River during different times of day and weather conditions in 1900-1901. Painted from a consistent vantage point at St Thomas' Hospital, each oil painting measures approximately 81 × 92 cm and depicts the Palace of Westminster with loose, expressive brushstrokes characteristic of Impressionism. These works emphasize the transient effects of light and atmosphere, transforming the familiar Cityscape into a vibrant, shimmering tableau. Monet's series beautifully illustrates his mastery of capturing the fleeting qualities of a specific view over time.
