Houses of Parliament — Fine Art

Houses of Parliament by Claude Monet looks out over the river toward a pale building set against a hazy sky. Soft blues and warm greys fill the water, and loose painted strokes give the scene a moving feel. The brushwork follows the impressionist habit of working outdoors to catch changing light.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black. A dark wood frame gives the picture a steady edge, and that line keeps the pale sky from spreading across the wall.

It suits a study above a plain desk. From the chair you notice the blue water first, and the building stays quiet in the back.
