ABOUT THIS PAINTING and MONET Monet painted gardens and the coastline in the south of France in the late nineteenth century. However, Monet also produced a large number of paintings of Antibes, all painted in four months between January and May of 1888. "I'm painting the town of Antibes, a small fortified town turned gold by the sun, standing out against beautiful blue and pink mountains and the everlastingly snow covered Alps." Claude Monet By the late 1880s Monet was beginning to become interested in developing his series paintings. Maybe because he was getting older and more settled at Giverny? Maybe because his reputation now meant that he could take more time over his painting projects and become more involved with his interest in painting light? He stopped painting people and started painting single motifs seen in different light, different weather and in different seasons. He was also trying to widen his audience beyond those who were familiar with his Normandy roots and the associated landscapes. He was also trying to decentralise Impressionism - to take it to places beyond Paris. Antibes was suggested by his dealer as being the antithesis of the Belle Isle. It also enabled Monet to say that he painted both the south as well as the north of France.
