The Brooklyn Museum and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco are pleased to announce Monet and Venice, a coorganized exhibition that will reunite Claude Monet’s extraordinary group of Venetian paintings. The exhibition will bring together more than twenty of Monet’s Venetian views from public and private collections around the world, including two masterpieces from the collections of the Brooklyn Museum and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco—The Doge’s Palace and The Grand Canal, Venice. It will mark the first dedicated exploration of Monet’s luminous Venetian works since their debut in 1912, placing them in context with select paintings from key moments throughout his career, and in dialogue with portrayals of the city by artists such as Canaletto, Édouard Manet, John Singer Sargent, J. M. W. Turner, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Cocurated by Lisa Small, Senior Curator of European Art at the Brooklyn Museum, and Melissa Buron, former Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and current Director of Collections and Chief Curator at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity for visitors to experience Monet’s unique vision of the fabled city.

“It’s thrilling to reunite so many of Monet’s radiant, radical paintings of Venice,” said Lisa Small. “Although he avoided visiting until he was 68 years old—anxiously aware of how many artists had painted the famous city before him—once there he found it a unique and ideal environment to pursue his passion for rendering the changing effects of light and air. We are eager for our visitors to ‘travel’ to Venice and immerse themselves in the unfolding beauty of Monet’s paintings.”
