Where Is Antibes Seen from the Salis Gardens 01?

Q: Where is this painting now?

The canvas hangs at the Courtauld Gallery in London, which owns several of Monet's Antibes works.

Q: Why did Monet paint the same view multiple times?

Monet was fascinated by how light transformed landscapes. He painted the same scene at different times to capture these variations.

Q: What movement is this painting from?

It's a prime example of Impressionism, capturing light and atmosphere through loose brushwork and bright colors.

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.
