Galerie Mont Villas in Bordighera – Claude Monet^ Monet

This impressionist painting depicts a peaceful scene in the coastal town of Bordighera, located on the Italian Riviera, where Monet stayed for a few months. The elegant villas, nestled among the lush vegetation and palm trees typical of the region, are depicted with quick, light brushstrokes that convey the brightness and warmth of the Mediterranean climate.

The bright colour palette, dominated by shades of green, blue and ochre, creates a visual harmony and enhances the beauty of the landscape. The play of light and shadow, as well as the reflections on the facades of the villas, demonstrate Monet’s mastery of atmospheric effects.

The landscape in the background, with the sea and the mountains, is treated in a more blurred manner, accentuating the contrast between the tranquillity of the landscape and the bustling life of the villas. The balanced composition and the harmony of the colours reflect the serenity and charm of the Italian “dolce vita”.
