Artwork description
Claude Monet · cap Martin · 1884 · W897
From the eastern shore of Cape Martin, a pink path runs along the rocks and pines before leading towards Menton, the bay and the Maritime Alps. This oil on canvas measuring 67.2 × 81.6 cm, painted in 1884, is kept at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston under number 25.128 and corresponds to Wildenstein 897.

Look at the work
The path starts from the left foreground and narrows between the rocks. The pines form a dark screen, but their openings reveal the city and the blue sea.
The mountains occupy the top of the canvas with very little material. Monet maintains areas of clear preparation and indicates clouds and reliefs with a few touches of blue, pink and gray.
W897 contrasts the tactile density of the shore with the almost reserved air of the sky: depth depends as much on matter as on perspective.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The view crosses the bay from Cape Martin towards Menton and the Alps. The curve of the path organizes this movement from near to far.
The MFA emphasizes the paint economy in the upper part. A few lines are enough to suggest mountains and clouds without weighing down the atmosphere.
The 67.2 × 81.6 cm format, the Boston Museum inventory and Wildenstein 897 distinguish this view from the group painted in April 1884.
Reference image
Only one reference image is used. The exact image of 25.128 is provided in real WebP of 1600 × 1321 px, without artificial enlargement.
The pink of the trail must retain variations of blue, ocher and white to remain integrated into the rocks.
The warm, contrasting colors in the foreground become bluer and lighter as the landscape recedes.
The rocks and trees are worked in visible touches, while the sky retains a thin layer and reserves.
