Le Grand Canal is an oil on canvas painting by French Impressionist painter Claude Monet (1840–1926).

This painting is a classic view of the Grand Canal, an attempt to capture the ever-changing face of Venice, as seen from the Palazzo Barbaro, one of the places where he stayed during his trip.

[2][3][4] Previously it has been in the private collection of the New Orleans sugar magnate, Hunt Henderson, who was a noted art collector.

Hunter was a friend of Monet's wife, Alice, who invited the couple to come to visit her in Venice, where she rented this palazzo.

[7] While there Monet completed a series of artwork on the Canale Grande painting the same motif at different times of the day.
