exhibition · 2026-04-27

Palazzo Reale in Milan presents a major exhibition on Claude Monet, featuring 53 works from the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris. The show traces the artist's personal and artistic journey through pieces he kept in his Giverny home, including 'Water Lilies' (1916-1919), 'The Parliament. Reflections on the Thames' (1905), and 'The Roses' (1925-1926), his last canvas. Curated by Marianne Mathieu, the exhibition is divided into seven sections and highlights Monet's exploration of light and its changes, as seen in works like 'On the Beach at Trouville' (1870), 'Walk at Argenteuil' (1875), and 'Charing Cross' (1899-1901). The exceptional loan was made possible through collaboration with the Musée Marmottan Monet, which holds the world's largest collection of Monet's works, donated by his son Michel in 1966. The exhibition is promoted by the City of Milan-Culture and produced by Palazzo Reale and Arthemisia, part of the 'Museums of the World at Palazzo Reale' project.
