Villas at Bordighera (Les Villas à Bordighera), 1884 by Claude Monet

Villas at Bordighera (Les Villas à Bordighera), painted by Claude Monet in 1884 depicts a sun-drenched Mediterranean garden where feathery palms and a spiky flowering agave rise before pastel villas along the Italian Riviera. Vivid strokes of violet, gold, and green capture the intense southern light Monet encountered during his months-long stay on the Ligurian coast. The canvas belongs to a series he produced at Bordighera in 1884, a bold departure from his Normandy scenes that pushed his palette toward brighter, more exotic contrasts.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1884.
