During the winter of 1888, monet visited antibes in southern france. Under the mediterranean sun his colors became lighter and brighter, and 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 brilliant colors -- warm pinks, corals, cool greens, and blues -- embody the sun-soaked atmosphere of the mediterranean coast. Object Type: painting. Date: 1888.
