San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk
By Monet

San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk

Oil on canvas
60 x 78.5 cm (24 x 31 ins)

Among Monet’s farthest travels in search of new stimuli was a trip to Venice in 1908. While Manet had been inspired, more than 30 years before, by the crisp, clear air and brilliant sunlight of the city, Monet’s response was closer to Turner’s misty and magical evocations.

In San Giorgio Maggiore, everything is half-glimpsed through a veil of mist, with the sun shining through from behind the church in the center. Like Monet’s notorious Impression Sunrise of 1872, this work might stand as a classic Impressionist statement – except that, by this stage in his career, Monet was not so strict about working entirely on the spot, and very likely he sketched this and his other Venetian subjects on site and completed them at Giverny.

Also known as Venice at Dusk, San Giorgio Maggiore was featured in the Pierce Brosnan movie The Thomas Crown Affair. Thrill-seeking billionaire Thomas Crown steals the “$100,000,000 Monet” from one of Manhattan’s most heavily-guarded museums before being pursued by a beautiful insurance investigator hired to retrieve the painting.

Was Thomas Crown ever caught? And what happened to the Monet?

You’ll have to watch The Thomas Crown Affair to find out!
