Monet and Venice Boxed Notecard Assortment

Venice was Claude Monet’s last significant art excursion and his final engagement with architectural subject matter. It also generated his last site-specific paintings apart from ​Water Lilies​, which, along with related Giverny pond and garden motifs, were all that he worked on from that point until his death. The only exception was the completion of the Venice paintings themselves in his studio in 1911–1912. The images presented here reassert and amplify the consequence of his trip and the motif of Venice itself—a creatively fertile historical setting that resonated within his life and body of work. Together, these works provide the public a rare opportunity to consider how Monet engaged with and transformed the long tradition of painting Venetian views.
