Once stayed in Venice for 3 months, 1908, as he had done in France, Claude Monet painted Grand Canal in series. This work is one of six views of Santa Maria della Salute, seen on this occasion from across the Grand Canal on the steps of the Palazzo Barbaro where he and his wife had lodgings.
Monet finished his views of Venice back home in France. He revisited the city in 1909 to look once more at the light effects and he did not display the pictures in public until 1912.
