Famous Paintings of Claude Monet - Saint-Georges Majeur (1908)

 Saint-Georges Majeur is one of six works in which Monet captures sweeping views across the lagoon to the sixteenth-century Palladian church, San Giorgio Maggiore. The church is located on its own island, next to the larger La Giudecca. Monet depicted this floating building from the other side of the Bacino di San Marco, a perspective that allowed him to take in the widest expanse of water and sky, as well as open to light and reflection. . The current work shimmers with a series of pastel tones that exude the floating city's signature luminescence. Amid Monet's pearly palette, the cathedral seems to disappear in and out of an immersive fog of color. Of these six works, two are now in museum collections, the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff.(Christie's, New York - Oil on canvas, 59.9 x 73.2 cm)
