Monet lived in the south of France for four months from 1888, living in on the Cap d'Antibes in Chateau de la Pinede. He described Antibes as "a small fortified town, bathed to a golden crust by the sun". During this time he painted 29 works. The sale notes for recent sales at
Sotheby and
Christie's show how Monet experienced the changing weather, light and colours in Antbes.
