Palazzo Contarini
by MONET, Claude, Oil on canvas, 92 x 81 cm
Monet traveled to Venice with his wife Alice in 1908 and 1909. He painted several pictures with views of the Canal Grande, Rio de la Salute, San Giorgio Maggiore, and various palaces such as the Palazzo Contarini. However, these paintings were executed from memory in his studio in Giverny.
