Claude Monet (1840-1926) once claimed that Venice was “too beautiful to be painted,” a challenge he embraced by creating an extraordinary sequence of works depicting La Serenissima. Monet and Venice at the Brooklyn Museum reunites many of these paintings, a lesser-known chapter in the artist’s late career. Featuring more than 100 artworks, books, and ephemera, the exhibition is anchored by two masterpieces: the Brooklyn Museum’s own The Doge’s Palace and The Grand Canal, Venice from the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco where the exhibition travels after Brooklyn. Prof. Thomas Germano will present a visual lecture based on the Brooklyn Museum’s exhibition Monet and Venice running from October 11th, 2025 through February 1st, 2026.Click here to register
