The Doge’s Palace

Story

A grand palace facade rises along a canal, seen from out on the water, rendered in gentle washes of blue, yellow, and purple that ripple into reflections below. The building seems to dissolve into the surrounding light and color rather than standing as a hard, solid mass. This oil painting was completed in 1908 and is held today at the Brooklyn Museum, having entered the collection as a gift of A. Augustus Healy. The artist, Claude Monet (1840–1926), worked within Impressionism and is also known for Haystacks. One detail worth noticing is how the water seems to hold as much color and texture as the architecture itself, blurring the line between the two.
