One version of San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk was acquired in Paris by the Welsh art collector Gwendoline Davies.

[3] San Giorgio Maggiore al Crepuscolo is approximately two-by-three feet and painted in oil on canvas.

To the right are the faintly visible domes of Santa Maria della Salute and the mouth of the Grand Canal.

He disliked crowds of tourists and he was also worried about conforming to other artists who were drawn to Venice, such as Renoir or Manet.

The painting became familiar in 1999 after its appearance in John McTiernan’s heist film The Thomas Crown Affair.

In actuality, the Metropolitan does not own the painting, although they have another of Monet's Venetian scenes The Doge's Palace Seen from San Giorgio Maggiore.
