Mist, steam and smoke on the Thames - Émile Claus
Urban mist and shifting light: the art of Émile Claus in Mist, Steam and Smoke on the Thames
In Mist, Steam and Smoke on the Thames, Émile Claus captures a London atmosphere where the steam from boats mixes with the mist to create a diaphanous screen of colors. The composition favors shades of bluish gray and ochre, treated with a vibrant touch that reveals the artist's hand; the quick strokes and chromatic finesse suggest the movement of water and the passage of time. The eye is drawn to the effects of filtered light, blurred silhouettes, and the vibrant delicacy of the sky. This work conveys a contemplative emotion, both intimate and expansive.
Émile Claus, master of luminism and heir of Impressionism
Belgian painter active at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, Émile Claus belongs to the lineage of Impressionism while developing a particular luminism, focused on effects of light and atmosphere. Influenced by Monet and contemporary pictorial practices, he was able to transpose these lessons into a warmer and modulated palette, working transparency and color vibration. His landscapes and river scenes contributed to renewing the representation of sky and water in Northern Europe. Mist, Steam and Smoke on the Thames testifies to his interest in urban modernity and the sensory capture of reality.
