A very close plant screen
Palm trees don't just line the stage: they cut through the landscape and impose their vertical rhythm. The viewer looks at the bay through the vegetation.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · Bordighera · 1884 · W877
Palm trees rise in the foreground above Ventimiglia Bay, while the Maritime Alps appear in the distance in pink and blue light. This 64.8 × 81.3 cm oil on canvas, painted in 1884, is kept at the Metropolitan Museum under number 67.187.87 and corresponds to Wildenstein 877.

Look at the work
The trunks rise from the lower part and divide the view into irregular intervals. Between their crowns, the coast, sea and peaks appear in fragments rather than as a continuous panorama.
Greens contain yellows, blues and purples; the mountains take on roses and milky blues. This precious range retains the intensity of light without hardening the contours.
W877 confronts two scales: the tactile proximity of the fins and the immense retreat from Ventimiglia Bay to the Alps.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
Palm trees don't just line the stage: they cut through the landscape and impose their vertical rhythm. The viewer looks at the bay through the vegetation.
The greens and browns in the foreground are denser; the pinks and blues in the background are lighter. This transition creates distance without weakening color.
The 64.8 × 81.3 cm format, the Met inventory and the Wildenstein 877 reference make it possible to distinguish this view from other palm trees, gardens and panoramas painted in Bordighera.
Reference image
Only one reference image is used. The exact high definition scan of 67.187.87 is converted to a true WebP of 3000 × 2372 px, without artificial enlargement.
Each crown radiates around a different center. Their inclination and overlap organize the sky and avoid too regular repetition.
Monet explains that the local light forces him to dare a whole range of pinks and blues. These tones must remain visible in the mountains, the sea and the shadows of the foliage.
The small directional touches make the foliage dense without detailing it leaf by leaf. The bottom uses a calmer material to preserve distance.
Documented benchmarks
The Metropolitan Museum preserves Palm Trees in Bordighera, oil on canvas from 1884, 64.8 × 81.3 cm, inventory 67.187.87 and Wildenstein 877.
Monet leaves his hotel in Bordighera to look beyond Ventimiglia Bay, towards the Alps near the French border.
After a first visit to the coast with Renoir in December 1883, Monet returned alone at the beginning of 1884 to work freely in front of the new motifs of the Riviera.
The painting entered the Metropolitan Museum in 1967 by the bequest of Adelaide Milton de Groot. It is currently presented in gallery 819.
