Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1908 · Barberini MB-Mon-30 · W1762
Orange, pink and yellow facades frame the Rio della Salute under an intense blue sky. A stone bridge closes the canal, while a dark gondola slides towards its arch. In this version from Museum Barberini, Monet reinforces the complementary colors: the warm buildings vibrate against the blues and greens of the sky, foliage and water.

Look at the work
The house on the left forms a column of balconies and blue windows. The lighter central facade recedes towards the bridge. To the right, the pale trunk and dark foliage cut out the sky and balance the density of the architecture.
The reflections descend in long touches of turquoise, green, pink and purple. The small bridge is placed near the bottom, which lengthens the channel and reinforces the verticality of the painting. The gondola constitutes the dark point which activates this depth.
W1762 transforms the channel into a column of light: the stones and their reflections belong to the same colored movement.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The Rio della Salute appears in three paintings cataloged W1761 to W1763. The MB-Mon-30 version is distinguished by its more bold colors and by the strong opposition between warm facades and blue sky.
Monet was driven in a gondola to find his location. The narrow canal, bridge and high walls make up a view impossible to obtain from a large square or an open platform.
After his ten-week stay in 1908, Monet brought the Venetian views back to his studio. He reworked them before the 1912 exhibition, superimposing luminous memory and pictorial construction.
Reference image
The single reference image measures 1920 × 2393 px. It corresponds to MB-Mon-30 and has been encoded as a true WebP to its native definition, without artificial enlargement.
This distribution stretches the canal and brings the facades closer together. The architectural elements must remain asymmetrical: the left built mass does not have the same weight as the tree on the right.
Oranges are broken by pink and green; blues contain purple. Preserving these mixtures avoids too lively or artificially contrasting reproduction.
Windows and balconies are built in small superimposed marks. In the water, gestures lengthen. This difference in rhythm separates the stone from the reflection without drawing an outline.
Documented benchmarks
This information concerns precisely the painting of the Museum Barberini, MB-Mon-30 and Wildenstein 1762.
This oil on canvas signed and dated 1908 measures 81 × 65 cm. It belongs to the Hasso Plattner Collection and is cataloged at the Museum Barberini under the number MB-Mon-30.
The museum notice directly links the work to Wildenstein number 1762. The other two views of the same motif are W1761, in private collection, and W1763, at the Pola Museum of Art.
After several visits to the market and private collections, the painting joined the Hasso Plattner Collection in April 2013.
