<br><br>30*40cm<br>In 1908, Monet visited Venice for the first time and produced approximately 37 canal?themed paintings within merely three months. This work stands as his major piece capturing scenery along the Grand Canal. Plagued by eye trouble at that time, he relied upon his exquisitely sensitive colour perception to seize the unique rhythm of light across the lagoon city. A key series from Monet's late career, the composition abandons precise detail in favour of blended washes recreating Venice's hazy atmospheric beauty. Blue?green canal waters reflect pale pink?and?white buildings. Fluid brushwork evokes rippling light upon water, while the interplay of warm and cool tones generates a tranquil mood. This facsimile faithfully reproduces the original's layers of light and shadow together with its translucent quality. Presented in a period?style frame that revives its classic charm, it eternally preserves the poetic spirit of Venice and ranks among the crowning achievements of Impressionist city?scape painting.<br><br><strong>ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO RETURNS, REFUNDS, OR CANCELLATIONS.</strong><br><br> <strong>Condition and Authenticity:</strong><br><br> Any statement in the catalogue, condition report, photographs, video, invoice, or other written or oral communication regarding the origin, date, age, attribution, authorship, authenticity, provenance, material, condition, or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only.
