This painting was undertaken on Monet's trip to Venice in the autumn of 1908⠀
While there Monet completed a series of artwork on the Canale Grande painting the same motif at different times of the day. Monet had the habit of studying the same subject in a varying light, at different times of the day⠀
It is one of six paintings looking down the Grand Canal towards the Salute church⠀
In 2015, it was sold for more than $35 million at an auction by Sotheby's. ⠀
