Our comprehensive exhibition presents about 130 paintings by 14 artists, including Canaletto, Francesco Guardi, William Turner, James McNeill Whistler, Edouard Manet and Pierre Auguste Renoir, who provided important stimuli to the development of modern art. In addition, Claude Monet will be represented by over a dozen of the 36 paintings he executed in Venice a century ago, in 1908.
