Garden at Bordighera, Morning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Garden at Bordighera, Morning is an 1884 oil on canvas painting by Claude Monet,[1] now in the Otto Krebs collection at the Hermitage Museum, first displayed to the public in 1995.[2][3][4]

Showing palm trees and a church tower in the background, the work was produced during a stay in Bordighera on the Ligurian coast of Italy from January to April 1884. He wrote to his art critic friend Théodore Duret "I set up in a fairyland. It would take a palette of diamonds and precious stones".[5]
