 * Support as nominator – Alborzagros (talk) 09:08, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Monet has so many articles about his individual works that a single painting such as this, which doesn't have an article, does not have enough EV to be featured. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:23, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support now that my concern has been addressed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:47, 12 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose Nice painting, but I also don't see the EV. If there was an article dedicated to this painting there would be, but if it's just one among the many on the artist's page, it's not really valuable. Mattximus (talk) 23:41, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment - In creation: Le Grand Canal by Claude Monet. Comming up. I was always interested in his less known series of paintings, well, actually it is not that unknown either, as I discovered when gathering info. So, done and it is a significant series of works, so no damage done. By the way, one of the Venetian waterscape from this series by Claude Monet was sold for more than $35 million dollars at Sotheby's auction on 2015 January the 8th.

 * Support. Fylbecatulous talk 20:32, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Light oppose. A fine example of Monet's work, but I'm not sure I would call this piece particularly exceptional or notable. Joshua Garner (talk) 16:42, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment It is a series og 5+this paintings, exactly one of these paintings from this series of Venetian waterscape by Claude Monet was sold for more than $35 million at 2015 Sotheby's auction . Rather a hit. Hafspajen (talk) 18:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC).
 * I get that, but the thing about Monet is that he is simply so famous and well-known that even his lesser-celebrated works get that treatment. Also, changed my vote from "Oppose" to "Light oppose". Joshua Garner (talk) 18:55, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, I understand your reasoning around this, but this is actually not just one of his individual works, but more, a series of paintings from Venice, and series of paintings are more than just any painting,  even if Le Grand Canal series (Monet) is a less known series. Also as our friend  stated somewhere - the FP is also a learning experience, so if we feature a are a somewhat less known series of paintings, and that is a learning experience.

 * Also, the man was 68, even if this is never a hinder for a good artist. He doubted he should paint Venice att all, because he thought it was too well painted and well know. But now he did it, and he did it gloriously. Well done of him. Hafspajen (talk) 18:26, 18 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Support – OK, you convinced me. It is a beautiful composition. Not bad for someone old enough to be my ... brother . Sca (talk) 22:30, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
