The Pool of London is a 1906 work by French artist André Derain.[1] It is in the collection of Tate Modern.[2] At the suggestion of Ambroise Vollard, Derain travelled to London to paint works that reflected the popularity of Claude Monet's earlier London series. [2] The painting depicts the Pool of London, a stretch of the River Thames, as seen from London Bridge.[3] The painting was one of a number of works featured in the Courtauld Gallery's 2006 exhibition "André Derain: The London Paintings"[4]
