Monet and Venice explores Claude Monet's late-career paintings of Venice, examining how the city's light and architecture inspired some of his most luminous work. Through reproductions and scholarly analysis, the book reveals how Monet transformed Venice into pure color and atmosphere. The volume becomes both art historical study and love letter to Venice, proving that Monet's late work pushed Impressionism to its limits and that some cities exist to be painted.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Monet's Venice paintings show an artist at the height of his powers, dissolving architecture into light. This book reminds us that Monet kept innovating into old age, that Venice has inspired countless artists, and that Impressionism was always about seeing differently.
