Gardener’s House at Antibes
1888
Monet traveled to Antibes in 1888 to chase the intense light of the Mediterranean, and this painting is the result of his obsession. He frames a humble gardener's house through a screen of blossoming trees, using quick, dabbing brushstrokes that make the leaves and sky shimmer with pastel pinks and blues. In the distance, you can just make out the sea and the town's towers, dissolving into the hazy atmosphere. It’s a classic Impressionist moment, capturing the fleeting feeling of a warm spring day rather than a precise architectural drawing.
