The many villas under construction in Bordighera in the late 19th century were signs of its burgeoning tourist industry. The Moreno garden became one of the town's attractions at that time and to gain entry, one had to be recommended; Monet managed this by describing himself as 'one of the most distinguished artists in Paris'. The painter spent several weeks with Moreno, who introduced him to the region at his own expense. Monet started work on around 14 paintings here, tackling the region's exotic features, especially the Moreno garden. But he spread himself too thinly, thanks to his busy schedule with Moreno, making it difficult to complete his work. He would rework the paintings when he went back to Giverny, before finally handing them over to the dealer Durand-Ruel in late spring.
