Monet and Venice  at The Brooklyn Museum  

​                                                       October 11 - February 1

​

Claude Monet once claimed that Venice was “too beautiful to be painted,” a challenge he embraced by creating an extraordinary sequence of works depicting the Italian city. Organised with the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, the Brooklyn Museum will present New York’s largest museum show dedicated to the artist in over 25 years. Reuniting 19 of Monet’s Venetian paintings for the first time since their 1912 debut in Paris, the exhibition will feature more than 100 artworks, books and ephemera in dialogue with works by Canaletto, John Singer Sargent and more artists who immortalized the city’s singular beauty.
