Monet painted 37 works of Venice which he began during his stay in the city in 1908.
[1][2] During his stay in Venice, Monet's accommodation was on the Grand Canal, firstly in the Palazzo Barbaro and secondly in a hotel nearby.
[3][4] He painted six views of this stretch of the waterway, near the church of Santa Maria della Salute.
He also painted individual buildings on the Grand Canal such as the Palazzo Dario.
In 2018, the National Gallery in London exhibited nine of the Venice paintings, including two paintings of the series, together in a single room, for the duration of a temporary exhibition titled Monet & Architecture, devoted to Claude Monet's use of architecture as a means to structure and enliven his art.
