Description
A slowly setting sun sets the evening sky on fire with brilliant tones of red, orange and yellow in Claude Monet’s “San Giorgio Maggiore by Twilight,” created in 1908. As one of Monet’s most beautiful light studies, it’s no wonder that this painting is one of our most popular. This hand-painted Monet replica is just as gorgeous as the original, featuring visible brushstrokes that make this canvas reproduction feel alive with color and movement. Monet and his wife made trips by gondola every night during his stay in Italy to take in the beauty of the monastery island depicted in this artwork. Though he did not paint this masterpiece “en plein air” and took to his hotel room because he disliked the crowds of tourists. To the right, the dome of Santa Maria della Salute and the mouth of the Grand Canal are just visible.
