Landscape on the Coast, near Menton, painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir in 1883, captures a wind-swept pine grove on a bluff above the Mediterranean along the coast between Marseille and Genoa, near the town of Menton on the French Riviera. Renoir made the trip in December 1883, and worked along this stretch of coastline for several weeks, captivated by its clarity of light. Bold, feathery brushwork and a palette of blues, greens, and warm terra cotta convey the wind moving through the pines and the brilliant strength of the southern sun, distilling a hot coastal afternoon into a radiant Impressionist landscape.
Artist: Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841-1919). Date: 1883.
