Bordighera - Itália
Metropolitan Museum of Arts Nova Iorque
OST - 64x81 - 1884
Monet first visited Italy’s
southern coast with Renoir in December 1883. Shortly thereafter, he returned
alone to paint, writing his dealer that working "à deux" was
constraining. This scene and The
Valley of the Nervia (30.95.251) reflect Monet’s excitement at the new
motifs offered by the region’s palm trees and mountains. For this view, he
ventured from his hotel in Bordighera and looked across the Bay of Ventimiglia
toward the Alps on the French border. The dazzling colors challenged him to
"dare to use all the tones of pink and blue," although what he truly
needed was a "palette of Diamonds and jewels."
