Monet Palazzo da Mula Scarf

This highly Impressionistic 1908 painting of the Mula Morosini palace captures all of the historic heritage and visual magic of Venice, despite being, in many ways, a simple subject - no gondolas, no Piazza San Marco, no domed churches.

But that's what Claude Monet (1846-1926) did: he dug deep down to discover the essence of a place. That's why he spent decades painting pond lilies in his garden in Giverny hundreds of times.

This marvellously evocative paintings typifies the Impressionist approach that has made Monet one of the world's favourite artists - and this into one of our favourite scarves.

Despite the huge amount of research, rights negotiations, image testing on silk, and the licensing fees paid for some of the images the price is the same as for other bespoke scarves, and at a very significant discount on the original retail price.
