Pine Trees at Cap d’Antibes (Pins, Cap d’Antibes), c. 1888 by Claude Monet

Pine Trees at Cap d’Antibes (Pins, Cap d’Antibes), painted by Claude Monet in 1888 captures a stand of windswept umbrella pines rising above a sunlit meadow before the sparkling blue Mediterranean. Whitecaps flicker across the sea beyond the dark canopies, while glimpses of the far shore and a pale southern sky open between the slender trunks. Monet painted this scene during his celebrated 1888 campaign on the French Riviera at Antibes, where the brilliant coastal light pushed his palette toward jewel-like blues and greens.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: c. 1888.
