London, England has inspired artists and painters the world over.
The French writer Baudelaire commented: “the marvelous tangle of rigging, yardarms and rope; a chaos of fog, furnaces and gushing smoke; the profound and complicated poetry of a vast capital”.
London also inspired Monet: “London would be quite ugly if not for the fog.” Claude Monet 1901…. from the Savoy hotel!
Whistler wrote: “I begin rather to wish myself back in my own lovely London fogs! They are lovely, those fogs – and I am their painter!” James Abbot McNeill Whistler 1880 ….. from Venice!!
