Matisse probably painted this canvas during the first of two visits that he made with his wife, Amélie, to Toulouse in 1898 and 1899. During his stay in Toulouse, he painted several landscapes of the suburbs of Beauzelle and Fenouillet, in which he continued his engagement with impressionism. The Toulouse landscapes, such as this one, exhibit a drastic change in how the artist used and selected color—a change that was instigated by his reading of Paul Signac's treatise D'Eugène Delacroix au néo-impressionnisme , which advocated the expressive use of color and brushstrokes.
