A view of the monastery island of San Giorgio, painted from the south-eastern end of Venice. On the right are faintly visible the dome of Santa Maria della Salute and the mouth of the Grand Canal. Every evening in late November 1908, Monet and his wife made gondola trips to enjoy 'these splendid sunsets which are unique in the world'. This work was purchased by Gwendoline Davies in 1912, directly from Monet's exhibition of his Venetian Scenes in Paris.

Seventy works National Museum Cardiff owns will be shown at a gallery in Hiroshima from 1st April through 28th May. One of them is "San Giorgio Maggiore by Twilight". In addition, Rossetti's "Fair Rosamund" will be on display. It is interesting to note that he was a poet.

Hi there Tony

Further to my earlier comment, I can confirm that San Giorgio Maggiore in Twilight is off display for conservation work at the moment, and is then part of the 6 venue Japan tour between March 2017 and June 2018. Once it is back from touring, the aim will be to redisplay it here in Cardiff.

Best wishes,

Sara

I read in another comment that the Monet painting "San Giorgio di Maggiore by Twilight" is on an international tour and will not be back in the museum until mid 2018. Can you tell me anything about this tour? This is my favorite painting and I would love to see it if possible. Thank you for your assistance.
