During Member Hours, members at all levels are invited to enjoy after-hours access to the Monet and Venice exhibition without the crowds.
Although Claude Monet visited Venice only once, his paintings of the city are among his most dazzling. Monet and Venice, co-organized with the Brooklyn Museum, is the first exhibition dedicated to Monet’s Venetian cityscapes since their debut over a century ago. Featuring more than 100 artworks, the exhibition places Monet’s Venice paintings alongside select works from across his career, including his Water Lilies, as well as Venetian views by artists such as Renoir, Sargent, and Canaletto. Unlike the bustling scenes painted by other artists, Monet’s Venice is eerily deserted, its architecture, buildings, and canals dissolving in an encompassing, hazy light he described as the enveloppe. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience Monet’s vision of the famed Italian city.
