THE " VUES DE LA TAMISE A LONDRES " : Claude Monet exhibited this series of paintings at the Durand-Ruel gallery in Paris from May 9 to June 4, 1904, and Arsène Alexandre published a vibrant eulogy in Le Figaro on May 8, 1904, entitled " The Thames, by Claude Monet " : " [...] The work is prodigious. there is no other word. It is among the most exceptional, the most moving of Claude Monet's works. Never has he gone further and it goes further than painting. It is a fairy tale of atmosphere and light. London appears fantastic in its dreamy mists, colored by the magic of the sun [...] Critics have little to do on such occasions. Its role is simply to watch and to point out such an exhibition as one of the most important artistic events of our time.
