When Chester Dale bequeathed the remainder of his collection to the National Gallery in 1962, the museum's French collection increased nearly threefold. Many of the donated paintings are some of the most spectacular and beloved paintings by the French Impressionists Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot and Pierre Auguste Renoir.
The Houses of Parliament, Sunset (1903) by Claude Monet
Palazzo da Mula, Venice (1908) by Claude Monet
Rouen Cathedral, West Façade
(1894) by Claude Monet
Rouen Cathedral, West Façade, Sunlight (1894) by Claude Monet
Waterloo Bridge, Gray Day (1903) by Claude Monet
Banks of the Seine, Vétheuil (1880) by Claude Monet
I will continue to show more of the spectacular Dale collection in my next blog post, specifically the Cézanne paintings.
The National Gallery of Art is located on the National Mall between 3rd and 9th Streets along Constitution Avenue.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the pleasure of seeing the paintings of these wonderful artists! Claude Monet is one of my favorite impressionist painters! When I travel to different countries I always visit art museums. My last trip so far was to Budapest. It's an amazing museum there! Both sculptures and paintings are featured in this museum. Unfortunately, traveling is on hold now, but I really want to visit many more countries and admire the paintings. To make it easier for me to travel, I picked up my accessories on this website: https://forbesttravel.com/
