Overview

• The exhibition runs in New York from October 11, 2025 through February 1, 2026, then travels to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in March 2026.
• Nineteen paintings from Monet’s sole 1908 visit to Venice are on view, drawn from a suite of 37 canvases made during and completed after the trip.
• Organizers say this is the first show since 1912 to place the Venice works at the core of an exhibition on Monet.
• The presentation situates Monet’s views alongside depictions of Venice by Canaletto, J.M.W. Turner, John Singer Sargent, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, with supporting archives such as postcards and photographs.
• A new symphony by the museum’s composer-in-residence, Niles Luther, plays in the final gallery, while biographical context notes Monet’s initial reluctance, his deep response to the city, and the works’ completion at Giverny after Alice’s death in 1911.
