While there Monet completed a series of artwork on the Canale Grande painting the same motif at different times of the day. Monet had the habit of studying the same subject in a varying light, at different times of the day, which resulted during his active career in many distinct Monet series, like for example the Water Lilies series, Poplar Series (Monet) Rouen Cathedral series, Haystacks series and Charing Cross Bridge series.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=series claude-monet )〕 Monet painted 37 works of Venice during his three-month stay in Italy, from October to December, including this painting and five more depicting the same theme, Canale Grande.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Grand Canal, Venice by Claude Monet )〕 One is hosted at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Wew York Times monet-s-complexity-and-grandeur-in-his-series-paintings )〕
