Claude Monet – Antibes Seen from the Salis Gardens 1888 – Oil painting

---

When painting Antibes from Juan-les-Pins, Monet sometimes stood further back so that he could get a panoramic effect. He set up his easel in the Salis gardens to the south of Antibes on the east side of the Cap. The painter positioned himself at the far end of these gardens, a short distance from the sea. He could then compose a picture by creating a contrast between the different perspectives: the olive trees in close up, the town of Antibes in the distance, and between them, the sea. The tree's golden yellow hue infuses the canvas with intense light. This painting was sold to ThÈo Van Gogh in 1888, forming part of a very successful small-scale exhibition, 'Ten Seascapes from Antibes'.
