We need some images for this article.

Monet's and Derain's views of Parliament. I don't know if these were in the show or not.

I love the internet; not only do I get my "fix" on art topics, but I can see images paired that I've never seen in person before.

Derain does have more solid images of Parliament. Even the sun is more solid. But the author is wrong that Monet is all eye candy; he does have content and meaning in the very items he chooses. Why Parliament? Probably because it is a symbol of English government and national Gothic architecture. Monet chose Rouen cathedral to paint for the same reason: it glorified France.

It almost looks as if Monet was trying to recreate the now mythic "Impression: Sunrise," for the British crowd....

Another, I think better, Derain

BTW,

Baroque is what you are when you are out of Monet.
