Antibes Seen from La Salis

£44.99

The shimmering light of mid-afternoon infuses Claude Monet’s painting of the old fortified coastal town of Antibes in the south of France. Monet traveled there in January of 1888 and was dazzled by the light and the striking scenery of the legendary Côte d’Azur (Azure Coast). However, he sometimes struggled with how to represent it on canvas, writing to his friend the sculptor Auguste Rodin, “I’m fencing and wrestling with the sun. And what a sun it is! In order to paint here one would need gold and precious stones.”

Monet chose to paint this view from the vantage point of the Garden of La Salis looking across the water to Antibes. He positioned himself at the bottom of the garden, close to the water. A large, twisting olive tree dominates the composition, and Antibes sparkles in the distance. His efforts to express the light and color of the Mediterranean fulfilled a promise to his companion, Alice Hoschedé, that what he would paint in Antibes would be “sweetness itself, white, pink, blue, all of it enveloped in this fairy-tale-like air.”

Embrace the versatility of the Oversized t-shirt, designed for those who appreciate the art of layering and creating unique outfits that effortlessly fuse modern trends with a hint of nostalgia. Its loose fit allows you to play with textures and proportions, giving you the freedom to express your personality through your style.
