Landscape, La Gaude (Paysage, La Gaude)

Discussion

FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG

This view is of La Gaude, a French hilltop village in the Côte d'Azur nestled just north of Cagnes-sur-Mer, where Renoir lived and painted during the last decade of his life. The relaxed brushwork and warm palette of ocher and gold tones evoke the lush Mediterranean landscape. We can just make out the bell tower of the Church of Sainte Victoire de la Gaude rising over the cluster of native stone buildings with their terra-cotta-tiled rooftops.
