Monet and Venice
In a major touring exhibition, many of Claude Monet's radiant and evocative paintings of Venice will be brought together for the first time in over a century.
Monet's Venice paintings represent high points in his lifelong engagement with the interplay between water and light.Monet and Venice - anchored by two masterpieces from the Brooklyn and San Francisco collections, The Doge's Palace and The Grand Canal, Venice - will be the first exhibition and publication in English devoted to this significant body of paintings since their Paris debut at the Bernheim-Jeune gallery in 1912.
Monet felt intensely the burden of influence in a city that had been depicted so many times and had long been an icon of fragile and ephemeral beauty. Venice was - and is - a place where culture and nature intertwine in a profound and unique way. Monet's images of Venice's buildings and canals, dissolving in colourful mist and diffused light, can be seen as meditations on human aesthetic interaction with a natural environment built up over centuries.
These tonally unifying atmospheres - which he calledabal'enveloppe - reveal Monet's essentially ecological understanding of the world in which he immersed himself. Air, light, water and stone emerge together from a matrix of bold brushstrokes; buildings, reflections and space are interconnected in luminous paintings that rewrite and transform the centuries-old tradition of Venetian landscape.
Including detailed reproductions, newly commissioned texts and maps of the artist's views, this book is an essential addition to any Monet lover's library.
