About Famous Paintings of London
J. M. W. Turner watched the old Palace of Westminster burn in October 1834 and painted "The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons", with flames reflected in the river. Later in the century James McNeill Whistler painted the Thames at night in his "Nocturnes", including "Nocturne: Blue and Gold, Old Battersea Bridge" (Tate).
Between 1899 and 1901 Claude Monet stayed at the Savoy Hotel and painted the Thames in fog, starting series of the Houses of Parliament, Charing Cross Bridge and Waterloo Bridge. He finished many of the canvases at Giverny. In 1906 André Derain answered with his own "Charing Cross Bridge" (National Gallery of Art, Washington), in bold Fauve colour.
