MONET, Claude: Palazzo Contarini

🖼 Palazzo Contarini, 1908
Oil on canvas
92 × 81 cm
Bern, Switzerland

Shimmering violet and blue hues dissolve the Venetian palace into atmospheric luminosity, with Monet's loose brushwork capturing water's reflection rather than architectural detail. This series exemplifies late Impressionism's radical abstraction, prioritizing light and perception over objective representation.
