Although Claude Monet visited Venice only once, his paintings of the city are among his most dazzling. This exhibition, co-organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, is the first 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 Manet, Renoir, and Canaletto. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience Monet’s vision of the famed Italian city.
Co-organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and presented at the de Young Museum from March 21 to July 26, 2026, this landmark exhibition reunites many of Claude Monet’s radiant and evocative Venice paintings for the first time in more than a century. The accompanying catalogue features over 100 color illustrations.
Monet’s tonally unified atmospheres—what he called the enveloppe—reflect his deeply ecological understanding of the world he immersed himself in. Air, light, water, and stone coalesce through bold brushwork, while buildings, reflections, and space intertwine in luminous compositions that both reinterpret and transform the centuries-old Venetian landscape tradition.
With lush reproductions, newly commissioned essays, and maps tracing the artist’s viewpoints, this beautifully produced volume is an essential addition to any Monet or Impressionism lover’s library. Hardcover, 256 pages.
Shop 22 museum-quality reproduction prints in paper and canvas, framed and unframed, from Monet and Venice, on view at the de Young from March 21 – July 26, 2026.
