"Monet's visit to Venice had originally been scheduled for a scant two weeks, hardly enough time for the paint to dry, but he extended his stay to two months, letting him create dozens of oils."
"The show is rounded out by a number of Monet's early pieces and some late waterlilies, packing in more than 100 works overall, creating an entrancing, airy afternoon holiday filled with much to seduce the eye."
Claude Monet visited Venice at the age of 68, creating numerous paintings during his two-month stay. His works, along with pieces from other renowned artists, are featured in the Monet and Venice exhibition at the de Young Museum. The show includes over 100 works, highlighting Monet's unique perspective of the city. Despite Venice's artistic legacy, Monet's visit was not guaranteed, and his initial two-week plan was extended to allow for more artistic exploration.
