Claude Monet
Argenteuil Basin with a Single Sailboat
From $100
This painting is violet, blue and gold vibrating on the water, and a cheap copy turns the shimmer flat. Our Claude Monet Palazzo da Mula print was graded beside the museum’s own file so the water keeps its shimmer.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
Sizes
16x12 inch, 20x16 inch, 24x18 inch, 30x24 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its wide shape suits a living room, a hallway or a long wall. The violets and golds look rich with white, navy and natural wood, and a gold frame suits it.
About the painting
Palazzo da Mula, Venice by Claude Monet
Venice, 1908
In 1908, aged 68, Claude Monet finally painted Venice. He signed and dated this one at the lower left: Claude Monet 1908.
Light on water
The palace façade fills the canvas, its windows and arches dissolving into violet and gold, and the canal shimmers below. As always, the subject is the light.
Washington
It went from Monet to his dealer Durand-Ruel, to collectors in New York and Newport, and in 1930 to Chester Dale, who left it to the National Gallery of Art.
Read the story
Claude Monet was sixty-eight before he finally painted Venice.
He spent his life chasing light: on the Seine, on haystacks, on the front of a cathedral. And in 1908 he came to the city where light seems to float on the water.
This is the Palazzo da Mula, one of the old palaces of Venice. Monet painted almost nothing but its façade and the water below it.
The windows and arches dissolve into violet, blue and gold. The canal shimmers. The building is there, but what he really painted is the light falling on it, and bouncing back up from the water.
He signed it at the lower left, and dated it: Claude Monet, 1908.
From Monet it went to his dealer, Durand-Ruel, then to a collector in New York and Newport, and was sold at auction in 1920.
In 1930 the American collector Chester Dale bought it, and he left it to the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
Look at the windows first, and then let your eyes drop to the water.
Palazzo da Mula, Venice. Claude Monet, 1908.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
