"The stellar collection of 30-plus Venice paintings from the artist's 10-week visit in 1908 is smartly framed by additional materials. Visitors get exposed to historic photographs of the city, as well as of the Monet couple visiting, and are provided with lots of quotations from the artist about his approach to art, process and subject."
"Dark, windowless rooms, painted in velvety blue, contain numerous gold-framed, jewel-toned showpieces, each as pleasant and precious as a Fabergé egg, albeit rectangular. Fetching, exquisitely crafted, decorative."
The Monet and Venice exhibition at the de Young Museum features over 30 paintings from Monet's 1908 visit to Venice.
