What amazing views across the Thames we've had... ☀️
It's the final weekend of The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Monet and London. Views of the Thames, bringing together some of Monet's most remarkable Impressionist paintings; his views of the River Thames.
Begun during three stays in the capital between 1899-1901, the series - depicting Charing Cross Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, and the Houses of Parliament, depict extraordinary views as they have never been seen before, full of evocative atmosphere, mysterious light and radiant colour. Unveiled in Paris in 1904, Monet fervently wanted to show them in London the following year, but plans fell through.
It has been our privilege to showcase these works together for the first time just metres from where they were painted.
