Did you know?
Monet embarked on a journey to the French Riviera and Italy in 1883-1884, a period of intense artistic exploration. He was particularly captivated by the exotic flora and brilliant light of the Mediterranean, which offered a striking contrast to the landscapes he typically painted in northern France. This trip led him to experiment with new palettes and brushwork, seeking to convey the intense warmth and unique atmosphere of the region, as seen in "Palm Trees at Bordighera."
