London: Claude Monet was enchanted by the mysterious light generated by London's famous "smog", and the city he loved is now hosting a new exhibition recognising his strange fascination with the industrial pollution.
"Monet and London. Views of the Thames" opening Friday will be the first time his paintings of the Houses of Parliament and the River Thames go on show in the city, as he had wished 120 years ago.
The French Impressionist painter made three visits to London, for several months at a time, between 1899 and 1901.
The city was then the most populated city in the world and a major industrial centre, its air often thick with pollution.
He stayed in the Savoy Hotel, from where he had a breathtaking view of the Waterloo and Charing Cross bridges.
