Claude Monet painted multiple versions of Antibes from the Salis Gardens in 1888, each capturing different light conditions. This version shows the fortified town across the bay in warm, golden tones. Trees in the gardens provide a natural frame for the distant view.
The Salis Gardens offered Monet an ideal vantage point. The public space allowed him to set up his easel without restrictions, and the mature trees created interesting foreground elements. He returned to this spot repeatedly during his three-month stay.
This canvas is now at the Courtauld Gallery in London. Theo van Gogh, working for the Boussod and Valadon gallery, helped sell Monet's Antibes paintings after their Paris exhibition. The warm tones here contrast with bluer morning versions of the same scene.

About Antibes Seen from the Salis Gardens 01
The canvas hangs at the Courtauld Gallery in London, which owns several of Monet's Antibes works.
Monet was fascinated by how light transformed landscapes. He painted the same scene at different times to capture these variations.
Theo van Gogh helped sell the Antibes series through the Boussod and Valadon gallery in Paris after Monet's 1888 exhibition Claude Monet created it as part of the French artistic tradition.
It's a prime example of Impressionism, capturing light and atmosphere through loose brushwork and bright colors.
