Venice has fascinated people, especially artists, for centuries.

The Fondation Beyeler is devoting a magnificent exhibition to the delightful city on the lagoon and the myths that have formed around it, comprising 150 oil and watercolor paintings from major museums and private collections around the world. For the first time, renowned Venice pictures by famous artists such as Canaletto, Francesco Guardi, William Turner, James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent, Edouard Manet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Odilon Redon, and Paul Signac will be on display together. A large part of the paintings Claude Monet executed in Venice in 1908 will form a high point in the exhibition.
