Le Grand Canal (Monet series)

Monet painted 37 works of Venice which he began during his stay in the city in 1908. These include a series of canvases of the Grand Canal. He had the habit of studying the same subject in a varying light, at different times of the day, which resulted during his career in many distinct series, like for example the Water Lilies series, Poplar series, Rouen Cathedral series, Haystacks series and Charing Cross Bridge series.[1][2]

The Venetian paintings include six depicting the Grand Canal near Santa Maria della Salute, and others of buildings on the Grand Canal such as the Palazzo Dario.

Current location of the paintings

One of the paintings from the Grand Canal series is hosted at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and another at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.[3]In 2018 the National Gallery in London held an exhibition "Monet and Architecture" which reunited nine of the Venice paintings including two of the Grand Canal series and one of Palazzo Dario.[4]
