Monet was one of the most important Impressionist painters. My favourite painting is his ‘Venice: Palazzo de Mula’.
The first time I set eyes on this painting I found it quite breathtaking. I had been looking for a present for a friend of mine when I noticed a poster of it in a shop window. The first thing that caught my eye were the colours because they were so vivid and powerful.

The painting shows a palace in Venice. The canvas is divided into two parts: the canal and the building. In the center of the picture there are two arches which seem to be the entrance to the palace. In front of these, there are two gondolas. At the top painting are two balconies.
Above the central arches there are a couple of windows of a strange, dark-red colour – perhaps it is the reflection of the sunset. At the bottom of the picture, the water in the canal is still and, as I gaze at it, I feel a sense of peace and calm.
