San Giorgio Maggiore - Venice, Italy
Monastery and Giudecca



This view from the Campanille shows us part of the monastery and the island of Giudecca. The monastery, an integral part of San Giorgio, was forcibly disbanded after Napoleon took over Venice in 1797. Its books and portable art and artifacts were all sold or stolen. It was a sad ending. Perhaps the island's most famous painting made for the refectory was Veronese's monumental 'Marriage at Cana,' commissioned in 1562. The painting ended up in the Louvre in Paris where it hangs to this day as part of Napoleon's war booty.
