Place in the artist's career
Inscribed in Monet's luminous period, Jardin Moreno in Bordighera is a perfect example of the unfolding of his Impressionist style. At this time, the artist refines his technique, as also shown by Impression, Sunrise and The Water Lilies , highlighting his evolution towards a more vibrant expression of light sensations.
Anecdote
Monet often said: "Light is everything." One spring morning in Bordighera, sitting in his garden , he was enchanted by the sweet scent of flowers mixed with the sea breeze. It was in this moment of grace that the beautifully evocative painting known as the masterpiece Jardin Moreno in Bordighera was born.
