这本精美画册与科陶德画廊重磅特展同步出版，将克劳德·莫奈描绘伦敦的印象派画作汇集展出，实属120年来首次。此番展览终圆艺术家未竟之愿——让这批杰作在泰晤士河畔亮相，而其中多幅画作的诞生地近在咫尺。

莫奈（1840-1926）虽以法国印象派领袖闻名于世，却鲜有人知他诸多非凡的印象派作品实则创作于伦敦。这些画作以前所未有的视角展现泰晤士河景致，满溢神秘光影与绚烂色彩。1899至1901年间，莫奈三度旅居伦敦，创作出描绘查令十字桥、滑铁卢桥与国会大厦的系列画作，该系列于1904年在巴黎的标志性展览中首度面世。艺术家次年曾热切期望将其展出于伦敦，然计划未竟。直至今日，这些画作从未在英国集结展出。

《莫奈与伦敦：泰晤士河景致》终使大师夙愿得偿。展览通过呈现莫奈本人于1904年甄选的画作，让观众获得独特观展体验：时隔百余年，再度领略艺术家亲自策展的视觉盛宴，欣赏他心中最能代表其艺术雄心的杰作。图录内容详实，收录全彩插图、二十一件作品详解及四篇专文，为这部经典系列注入全新解读。

The first collection of Monet’s paintings of the Thames exhibited in London since 1904

This beautiful volume accompanies a major exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery that reunites for the first time in 120 years an extraordinary group of Claude Monet’s Impressionist paintings of London. The exhibition realizes the artist’s unfulfilled ambition of showing the group on the banks of the Thames, just a stone’s throw from where many of them were created. 

Monet (1840–1926) is world renowned as the leading figure of French Impressionism, but many forget 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 mysterious light and radiant colors. Captured over three stays in the capital between 1899 and 1901, the series—depicting Charing Cross Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, and the Houses of Parliament—was unveiled at a landmark exhibition in Paris in 1904. Monet fervently wanted to show them in London the following year, but plans fell through. Until now, they have never been the subject of an exhibition in the UK.

Monet and London: Views of the Thames realizes Monet’s ambition of showing this extraordinary group of paintings in London. By presenting the paintings Monet himself selected in 1904, it provides visitors with the unique experience of seeing the show Monet curated and the works he felt best represented his ambitious artistic enterprise, brought together more than a century after their inaugural exhibition. The catalogue is richly illustrated and includes twenty-one entries and four original essays that shed new light on this famous series.
