Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1908 · Pola 006-0390 · W1763
The Rio della Salute sinks under a stone arch between orange, pink and cream facades. The vertical framing brings the walls together, while a blue sky and dark foliage open the upper part. In this version preserved in Hakone, the architecture remains more assertive and the light warmer than in the two other paintings on the same canal.

Look at the work
On the left, the floors and balconies form a discontinuous wall of warm rectangles. A strip of sky crosses the center, then the gaze descends towards the bridge placed very low. The straight, lighter wall frames the arch and accentuates the depth.
The water takes on the tones of the facades in long brown, pink and green touches. A dark gondola slides in front of the bridge and gives the scale of the passage. At the top right, the tree cuts out the blue of the sky with small touches of yellow, green and purple.
In W1763, the perspective of the canal is as much due to the vertical reflections as to the facades which produce them.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The Wildenstein catalog brings together three views of this canal under the numbers 1761 to 1763. The Pola Museum's canvas is the largest and most slender, with 100.2 cm in height and 65.2 cm in width.
All three variations show the pattern under light entering low from the left. Monet does not follow all the hours of a day here: he takes a specific moment to explore the Venetian mist and its colorful accords.
The low, frontal viewpoint places the viewer at water level. The walls become almost abstract colorful planes, but the bridge, balconies and boat maintain the exact identity of the place.
Reference image
The single reference image measures 976 × 1,500 px. It comes from the Pola Museum of Art, corresponds to inventory 006-0390 and has been converted into a real WebP with its native definition.
The architectural weight is concentrated on the left. The right area, brighter, avoids rigid symmetry and makes the canal breathe despite its narrowness.
Warm colors dominate the stone, while blues circulate in the windows, sky and canal. Their balance must remain nuanced rather than saturated.
The water surface alternates downward trails and small horizontal marks. This material reflects the movement of the canal while visually extending the facades.
Documented benchmarks
These landmarks concern precisely The Rio della Salute of the Pola Museum of Art, inventory 006-0390 and Wildenstein 1763.
This 1908 oil on canvas measures 100.2 × 65.2 cm. Art Platform Japan confirms inventory number 006-0390 provided by the Pola Art Foundation.
W1761 belongs to a private collection, W1762 to the Museum Barberini and W1763 to the Pola Museum of Art. The three retain the same bridge but modify format, light and colored range.
Monet resumed his paintings after his return to Giverny. The three Rio della Salute were sold with the other Venetian views to merchants Bernheim-Jeune and Durand-Ruel, then shown in Paris in 1912.
