About this artwork
This oil on canvas landscape depicts the lush, sun-drenched vegetation of the French Riviera near Nice. It is a characteristic example of Matisse's exploration of light and color during his early years in the South of France.
Did you know?
Matisse moved to Nice in 1917, seeking a warmer climate after the stress of World War I. This period marked a shift in his work toward a more relaxed, light-filled aesthetic, where he focused on the decorative potential of the Mediterranean landscape and the intimate interiors of his hotel rooms.
