![]() ![]() Monet’s depiction of San Giorgio Maggiore is all about the effects of light. San Giorgio Maggiore is a sanctuary and monastery off of the Italian coast. Little did he know that they would become world renowned at a later time. Monet considered these Venice scenes as trials, and souvenirs for himself, which he completed much later in his studio in France. He sent for his painting materials, and in October, 1908, began painting a series of preliminary works, one of which was San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk. When he arrived, he became entranced with the sights in Venice. While reluctant to paint the subjects which had been painted so many times by other artists, he had not intended to create any paintings while staying in Venice. At age 68, Monet and his wife were invited to stay in Venice. Monet’s impressionist painting, which is also entitled Venice at Dusk or San Giorgio Maggiore al Crepuscolo, is one of Monet’s most famous paintings, which he almost did not create. The changing natural light on subjects was of utmost importance, and Monet was a master of capturing the effects that lighting had on his subject matter. He would give his subjects the exact colors that were seen, until the shape appeared. Monet believed in the strength of observation, and painting colors observed, not the physical being. The philosophy of impressionism is based on expressing one’s perceptions or impressions of subject matter as opposed to mechanical, linear depictions. Oscar-Claude Monet, born in Paris, France, was the founder of the French Impressionist movement in art.
