Antibes Seen from the Salis Garden

Monet stayed for four months at Cap d’Antibes and produced thirty-six canvases. He wrote home to his wife Alice that the light was so brilliant he had to fence it in with gold and pink. Antibes Seen from the Salis Garden was bought directly by the dealer Theo van Gogh – Vincent’s brother – in 1888 and exhibited the same year at Boussod and Valadon’s in Paris where it caused a small sensation. This impressionist canvas print preserves every dazzle of the original.

Claude Monet (1840-1926) is the founding voice of the Impressionist movement. The original of this work is held at the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio, with sister versions in the Courtauld Institute in London and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. The Antibes campaign is now seen as a pivot point in his career towards the high-keyed colour of Giverny.

Hung in a Perth or Fremantle interior the impressionist landscape print suits chalk, oat or pale-grey walls; oak floors, raw linen, brushed brass and a touch of mustard or burnt-orange velvet bring the autumn tree forward. It is particularly good in a sunny living room or above a long sideboard.
