Monet and Boston: Lasting Impression

From the Boston Globe:

Beginning in April, the museum will display its entire collection of Claude Monet oil paintings — all 35 of them, which is “among the largest holdings of the artist’s work outside France,” according to the museum’s announcement. Six Monet paintings on loan from private collections will round out the exhibition, bringing the grand total of works to 41. Titled “Monet and Boston: Lasting Impression,” the exhibition will highlight the city’s and the museum’s commitment to the artist. Between April 18 and Aug. 23, guests will be able to see works from Monet’s lifetime, ranging from early paintings completed in the 1860s to his later Impressionist Grainstacks, Rouen Cathedral, and Water Lilies series. Boston has long been a “center for the collection and appreciation of Monet’s paintings,” the museum said, and many of the artist’s works were brought to the city during his lifetime. (Read more.)
