Catalogue Note

After 1900, Renoir and his family spent each winter and spring on the Mediterranean, staying at Le Cannet in 1902-03, and eventually settling in Cagnes, where in 1907 they purchased Les Collettes, an old farm situated in an olive grove. John House described the importance of the Cagnes landscape in Renoir's work at this time: "The estate provided him with his principal subjects for landscape; he focused sometimes on the panoramic view of it from the coast and the old town of Cagnes, sometimes on its ancient, twisting olive trees, and often on the old farmhouse on the estate" (John House, Renoir, London, 1985, p. 27).
