MONET AND LONDON: VIEWS OF THE THAMES, COURTAULD GALLERY
Claude Monet (1840-1926) is world renowned as the leading figure of French Impressionism, the movement that changed the course of modern art. Less known is the fact that some of Monet’s most remarkable Impressionist paintings were made not in France but in London. They depict extraordinary views of the Thames as it had never been seen before, full of evocative atmosphere, mysterious light and radiant colour. Studio ZNA worked with the curators and Courtauld team to bring these wonderful layers of Monet’s paint to life using light using the gallery’s track system and focusing into the works with nuanced beam angles and colour correction.
This exhibition realised Monet’s unfulfilled ambition of showing this extraordinary group of paintings in London, and just 300 metres from the Savoy Hotel where most were painted.
Opening Date: 2024
