Palazzo da Mula, Venice

Claude Monet painted Palazzo da Mula, Venice in 1908, capturing the facade of the Palazzo Da Mula Morosini in oil on canvas. The work passed directly from the artist to the Paris dealer Durand-Ruel, through whom it was acquired by the American collector Arthur B. Emmons of New York and Newport. Emmons's collection was dispersed at auction by the American Art Association in New York on 14 January 1920, where the painting appeared as lot 39.

It subsequently entered the holdings of Henry D. Hughes of New York and Philadelphia, who consigned it through the Marie Sterner Galleries in New York. On 8 March 1930, the painting was sold to the New York collector Chester Dale, who retained it for more than three decades. Dale bequeathed the work in 1963 to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it remains in the collection.

The work entered the museum's holdings in 1963 as a bequest from Chester Dale, who had purchased it in 1930. Prior to Dale's ownership, the canvas passed through several private hands, including Arthur B. Emmons and Henry D. Hughes, following its initial sale from the artist via Durand-Ruel. The painting was notably included in the sale of Emmons' estate at the American Art Association in New York on January 14, 1920.
