Where to See Waterloo Bridge: State Hermitage Museum

French artist Claude Monet painted this view of Waterloo Bridge between 1899-1904 during his London campaigns. The atmospheric study captures the bridge emerging through Thames fog, with industrial smokestacks creating hazy silhouettes in the distance. Monet worked from his room at the Savoy Hotel, observing how light transformed the urban scene hour by hour.

This painting belongs to a series of over forty Waterloo Bridge views. Monet applied paint in broken brushstrokes, building layers of color to suggest fog diffusing light. Now at the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.

This Waterloo Bridge canvas hangs at the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The Hermitage holds several of Monet's London series paintings in its Impressionist collection.

Claude Monet created this during his London campaigns (1899-1904), painting from the Savoy Hotel overlooking the Thames.

Monet painted over forty versions of Waterloo Bridge, each capturing different atmospheric conditions from fog to sunset.
