Antibes – Claude Monet Art Print

Antibes by Claude Monet: the town, the sea and the mountains

This art print of Antibes by Claude Monet shows the old town beside the water, with its towers and pale walls. The sea occupies the foreground, while a mountain range stretches behind the town. Pinks, mauves and blues give the scene a delicate light, with subtle shifts rather than uniform areas of color.

A Mediterranean landscape painted in 1888

The Courtauld Gallery holds this composition from 1888. It connects the painting with Monet’s stay in southern France, where he explored the colors and atmosphere of the Mediterranean. This view leaves the town unobstructed: no curtain of vegetation conceals the foreground.

The subject reveals another setting within Monet’s career. Compare it with the gardens and landscapes in our collection of Claude Monet art prints.

Three layers connected by color

The sea’s small brushstrokes create a horizontal rhythm at the bottom of the image. The town forms a more compact mass on the left, its towers rising above the ramparts. Farther away, the mountains are painted in lighter tones and trace an uneven horizon.

Colors move between these layers: pink reflections echo the facades and summits, while the blue water finds a counterpart in the mountains. The sky provides a quieter area above them. The scene remains clear from a distance, but its small brushstrokes also reward a closer look.

Bringing this view of Antibes into your home

The horizontal composition can sit above a console table, desk or low cabinet. A light interior palette allows the landscape’s nuances to stand out. A pink, blue or green detail in the room can create a subtle connection with the painting.

To contrast two of Monet’s moods, explore our art print of The Magpie, which depicts a winter landscape. The Water-Lily Pond offers a more enclosed garden setting. The materials and dimensions of your order depend on the options selected on each product page.
