Description
For three decades from the early 1880s, Monet was an indefatigable traveler, seeking new pictorial motifs across Europe. This work was created during one of his earliest exploratory journeys: a three-month sojourn to the Riviera in 1884. He spent most of this time in Bordighera, a small Italian fishing village whose exotic, sun-drenched landscape proved a profound source of inspiration. Between January and April, he produced thirty-five paintings. Joachim Pissarro described the Bordighera canvases, including this one, as “some of the most powerful, resonant, and innovative painting Monet had ever produced—work that went well beyond Impressionism.”
The 1884 trip marked Monet’s second visit to the Mediterranean.
