50、 during one of his long visits to England from France. Few Londoners would have agreed with his statement at the time, when the city was choked by the smog of the Industrial Revolution, but no one argues with the beauty of the colorful skies he began painting there between 1899 and 1901. Pollution h
51、as never looked quite as attractive as when seen through Monets eyes.Now there is evidence that Monets images of London were not only Impressionist creations, but a result of highly exact observation.

Thomas of the University of Birmingham analyzed the position of the sun in 9 of the 19 paintings in Monets “House of
53、 Parliament” series. There was “a perfect correlation”. Thomas says, between the solar positions in the images, the actual solar positions from astronomical(天文学的) records and the dates on which Monet began the works. “We believe,” Thomas says, “that we can basically work out how much smoke would hav
54、e to be in the air to create that visibility and those colors in, say, February 1900 through the images.”Some art historians doubt whether the London paintings hold this much documentary evidence, pointing out the Monet continued to work on many of the images after he returned to this studio in Give
55、rny, France. They also argue that theres no question that Monet was surprisingly realistic to what lay in front of him, but at the same time, for example, he had a penchant for pinks.
