Did you know?
Claude Monet visited Venice in 1908, producing a series of around forty canvases that captured the city's unique light and atmosphere, including many views of the Doge's Palace. Interestingly, despite his prolific output during this trip, Monet initially struggled with these paintings and famously took over a year to rework them in his studio before exhibiting them to critical acclaim.
