About the event

DAASV has arranged a private, guided tour of the “Monet and Venice” exhibition at the DeYoung Museum, starting at 9:45. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience Monet’s vision of the famed Italian city. Although Claude Monet visited Venice only once, his paintings of the city are among his most dazzling. This exhibition, co-organized with the Brooklyn Museum, 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 Renoir, Sargent, and Canaletto. Unlike the bustling scenes painted by other artists, Monet’s Venice is eerily deserted, its architecture, buildings, and canals dissolving in an encompassing, hazy light he described as the enveloppe. The price for this event includes the private, docent-led tour plus discounted admission to the rest of the museum. If you are a FAMSF member, please choose the appropriate registration box and list your membership number. Attendance is limited to 15, to maximize information exchange with the docent. Registration will end May 29, when our reservation must be secured.
