Bordighera

ID: #861130 | Impressionism | Landscapes

In 1884, he traveled Claude Monet to Bordighera, a town in the Italian Riviera, near the border with France. It was a working visit that turned from three weeks into three months. The aim of this visit was to study how best to capture the brilliant colours of the Mediterranean light on canvas. Monet himself declared that it was a "struggle with the sun". In his letters, he complained about the lush vegetation, which made it impossible for him to find a suitable motif. In this composition, painted from an observation post on a hill, the sea with its rocky cliffs is barely visible through the intertwined pines. Prevailing color of this fine art print is green and its shape is landscape. This image is printed on demand - you can choose material, size and finishing.
