Indisputably, Claude Monet is one of the most recognizable and celebrated figures in art history. Everyone loves his beautiful landscapes, colorful and dynamic depictions of modern life, and monumental garden scenes. Monet also painted the grandeur of Venice to much acclaim, and the Brooklyn Museum will be reuniting many of these glorious scenes in a blockbuster exhibition opening in October 2025.
Part 1 of this talk will depict Monet’s journey from a rejected outsider to a ground-breaking icon of Modernism.
Part 2 of this talk, we will not only be dazzled by Monet’s Venetian masterpieces but will see centuries of art works by a variety of painters who were inspired to capture the city of Venice, creating spellbinding images of the water, light, architecture, and magnificent coastal landscapes of this unique and magical place.
This program will be held via Zoom. You will receive Zoom instructions and online meeting information in your registration confirmation email in addition to a reminder email prior to the date of the program.
