San Giorgio Maggiore, Twilight

Artist: MONET, Claude (1840 - 1926)

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'. Venice, he claimed, was too beautiful to paint. This work was purchased by Gwendoline Davies in 1912, directly from Monet's exhibition of his Venetian Scenes in Paris. Monet painted this view in series, and it may look familiar to fans of 1999 film The Thomas Crown Affair.

Hi Mike,

I’m very sorry that you were disappointed on your visit. This work isn’t currently on display because its usual place is taken by two paintings by Renoir on loan from the National Gallery, 'A Pair of Dancing Girls with Musical Instruments'. I have discussed this with our Art department and we expect that 'San Giorgio Maggiore, Twilight' will be back on display in early August.

Best wishes,

Marc

Hi. It’s the end of July 2018 just wondering when this painting will return as it stated above that it would have returned by June 2018? Only it’s not there today and I came a long way to see it.

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.
