Matisse lived in the seaside town of Collioure, on the southwest coast of France, for a year and a half in 1906–7. He painted this picture directly from nature, positioned in the hills above the picturesque town, capturing the landscape and the Mediterranean beyond it. He left parts of the canvas bare to convey the intense luminosity of the scene; the exposed ground heightens the pinks, oranges, violets, and blues of his palette.
