In "Charing Cross Bridge: Fog on the Thames," Claude Monet immerses viewers in the soft, enveloping fog that veils London’s landscape. The bridge is barely visible through the mist, evoking a feeling of mystery and solitude. Monet’s choice of subdued, cool colors and his delicate handling of light create a scene that emphasizes the ethereal nature of fog, turning an industrial structure into a dreamlike, almost intangible presence.
