Gardener's House at Antibes, 1888. Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926). Oil on fabric; framed: 91.1 x 118.4 x 13.7 cm (35 7/8 x 46 5/8 x 5 3/8 in.); unframed: 66.3 x 93 cm (26 1/8 x 36 5/8 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Wade 1916.1044 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. Monet painted 35 canvases during his visit to Antibes from January to May 1888.
