The story and details
From a room at the Savoy Hotel between 1899 and 1901, Monet painted London's Waterloo Bridge nearly forty times, returning to the same view at different hours to catch the Thames fog thick with coal smoke, turning the bridge into little more than a violet silhouette. He worked from memory as much as observation — the light changed faster than he could paint it, so he learned to paint what he remembered instead of what he saw.
