Daunted by Venice\u2019s innumerable picturesque views and art-historical legacy, Monet delayed visiting the city until 1908. Once there, he explored familiar artistic concerns\u2014reflection, atmosphere, and structure\u2014 through the city\u2019s fundamental visual elements: its water, light, and architecture. To capture the Doge\u2019s Palace, one of Venice\u2019s most notable monuments, Monet positioned himself across an expanse of water, in a gondola. Despite the horizontal format of the canvas, and of the palace itself, the painter accentuated the vertical through reflection, dissolving the solid structure into a shimmer of pink, green, and yellow. Although Monet spent several sessions painting directly in front of his subject, he reworked this canvas in his Giverny studio in preparation for a 1912 exhibition.Object metadata can change over time, please check the Brooklyn Museum object record for the latest information.
