Veil of Fog

In Houses of Parliament, Claude Monet captures the haunting beauty of London cloaked in fog. Filmed in ikonoTV’s Slow Art style, the painting’s shifting blues, mauves, and golden haze unfold gradually, immersing the viewer in an almost dreamlike stillness. Light dissolves form, and structure becomes mood—evoking a moment suspended between day and night. This visual meditation invites a deep, contemplative gaze into atmosphere, memory, and the ephemeral soul of a city. This work can be seen at various museums including [The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C,https://www.nga.gov/artworks/46523-houses-parliament-sunset]
