Monet painted this view of a gardener¡¯s house during a five-month stay at Antibes in southern France. Under the Mediterranean sun his colors became lighter, his paint surfaces more thickly impastoed. ¡°What I bring back from here,¡± he wrote, ¡°will be sweetness itself, white, pink, and blue, all enveloped in a magical air.¡± The strong colors and heavy paint surfaces seem drenched in intense light and heat of the Mediterranean coast.
