Bordighera

Description

Bordighera by Claude Monet brings the brilliance of the Italian Riviera into a dense tapestry of trees, rooftops and blue sea. Slender trunks and sweeping branches cross the foreground, framing glimpses of the coastal town beneath them. Flecks of yellow, green and violet make the vegetation shimmer with light.

Painted in 1884, this landscape gives equal attention to the character of the place and the movement of color across the surface. The deep blue distance offers a moment of stillness beyond the lively foliage. In Bordighera, Monet turns a layered coastal view into an absorbing study of Mediterranean light.
