Did you know?
Monet's Venice series from 1908 marked a period where the artist, despite his failing eyesight, was still profoundly moved by the atmospheric effects of light on water and architecture. He famously worked on multiple canvases at once to capture the fleeting moments of light, often painting through mist and haze to achieve these ethereal effects. His dedication to capturing the 'envelope of light' over the Venetian landscape makes these works a unique culmination of his Impressionist vision.
