San Giorgio Maggiore (Monet series)

Monet completed his paintings of Venice at home in France[1] and in 1912 showed them in Paris.

Buyers included the Welsh collector Gwendoline Davies, who bought three paintings.

A painting by Monet, described as being of San Giorgio Maggiore, was seized in July 2016 by Swiss officials on behalf of U.S. authorities.

[2] In 2018, the National Gallery in London exhibited nine of the Venice paintings, including three 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.

This was a rare occurrence because no museum owns or exhibits more than two in a permanent collection.
