Моне в Венеции
Feb. 16th, 2026 11:29 pm Моне пробыл в Венеции два месяца: с начала октября по начало декабря 1908 года. Изначально он думал пробыть там неделю, но был совершенно потрясён увиденным и застрял. Моне писал несколько серий картин одновременно: утром он работал в одном месте, днём в другом, вечером - в третьем. Какие-то сюжеты писал с гондолы и был очень недоволен гондольерами, которые сегодня не могли привезти его идеально в то же место, где он работал вчера.
Monet started work at 8:00 am, sitting on the protruding platform of the island of San Giorgio Maggiore…. From this position, Monet faced San Marco and began work on his first series of canvases focusing on the facade of the Doges’ Palace, framed on the left by the tower of the Campanile and on the right by the platform of the Schiavoni. According to Alice, Monet would then move from San Giorgio to San Marco, from whence he could observe his second motif, the island of San Giorgio itself. In other words, Monet moved from the point of observation to the point observed…. After lunch, Monet would work from the steps of the Palazzo Barbaro itself, not wanting to exert himself too much after a rich meal. There he could level his gaze at the Palazzo Contarini… which he represented in two important canvases. Also executed at this site was one of the key groups in the entire Venice series, six works focusing on the Church of Santa Maria della Salute…. From 3:00 to 7:00 pm he and Alice would go on a gondola tour of the canals until twilight.
Недавно в музее искусств Бруклина завершилась выставка, посвящённая этой невероятно удачной поездке; картины приехали из музеев всего мира, включая частные собрания. Я побывал на этой выставке ещё в ноябре, ниже большая подборка работ.
