About the piece
Painted in 1905, this radiant oil by Henri Manguin captures the essence of the French Riviera. Using the bold, non-naturalistic palette characteristic of Fauvism, Manguin translates the Mediterranean sun into a tapestry of emerald greens, deep blues, and warm earth tones. The composition leads the eye through a thicket of coastal pines and flowering shrubs toward the shimmering expanse of the gulf.
