CLAUDE MONET. Palm Trees at Bordighera

Palm Trees at Bordighera. Artist: Claude Monet (French, Paris 1840-1926 Giverny). Dimensions: 25 1/2 x 32in. (64.8 x 81.3cm). Date: 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 <i>The Valley of the Nervia</i> (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.".

Título:
Palm Trees at Bordighera
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Palmeras en Bordighera. Artista: Claude Monet (Francés, París 1840-1926 Giverny). Dimensiones: 25 1/2 x 32 pulg. (64,8 x 81,3 cm). Fecha: 1884. Monet visitó por primera vez la costa sur de Italia con Renoir en diciembre de 1883. Poco después, regresó solo a pintar y le escribió a su marchante que trabajar "a dos" era una limitación. Esta escena y El valle del Nervia (30.95.251) reflejan la emoción de Monet ante los nuevos motivos que ofrecen las palmeras y las montañas de la región. Para esta vista, se aventuró desde su hotel en Bordighera y miró a través de la Bahía de Ventimiglia hacia los Alpes en la frontera con Francia. Los colores deslumbrantes lo retaron a "atreverse a usar todos los tonos de rosa y azul", aunque lo que realmente necesitaba era una "paleta de diamantes y joyas".
