Palazzo Contarini, by Claude Monet presents the late-Gothic palace on Venice's Grand Canal in a cropped frontal view, its polychrome stone façade dissolving into a shimmering interplay of blues, violets, and greys upon the water below. Painted in 1908 during Monet's ten-week stay in Venice, the work belongs to a celebrated cycle of thirty-seven canvases — the painter's only sustained engagement with the lagoon city — in which he subordinated architectural detail to the play of reflected light, much as he had done in his Rouen Cathedral and water-lily series.
Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1908.
