In the spring a new exhibition, which reunites several paintings, will exhibition the works of Claude Monet in London. “The Credit Suisse Exhibition: Money & Architecture” explores how the artist portrayed bridges, buildings and bodies of water in his paintings. The show runs at the National Gallery from April 9, 2018.
The show will feature works by the artist drawing parallels with architecture. On display are more than 75 paintings by Monet that explore his career from the beginning in the mid-1860s to the public display of his Venice paintings in 1912. ... “Monet & Architecture” comprises three sections. “The Village and the Picturesque,” “The City and the Modern,” and “The Monument and the Mysterious.” These explore how one of the world’s well-known painters captured a rapidly changing society through his portrayal of buildings. The highlights include both paintings of the church at Vétheuil, which were created by the artist on arrival in the village in late 1878. One was shown at the fourth Impressionist exhibition in 1879, and the other at the seventh in 1882, but they have never been seen together.
