San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk - Claude Monet
The tones are warm. This painting was done during Claude Monet's visit to Venice in the fall of 1908, depicting the island of San Giorgio Maggiore and its monastery drowned in mist. The artist focused on capturing the moment, with sunlight effects, and on the overall visual effect, rather than on the details. Interestingly, he began to lose his sight (carate) during this period. Monet constructed textures using small touches of light color to add contour. It is the contrast between the primary colors and their complementary colors that gives this painting its luminous appearance.
