Palm Trees at Bordighera, 1884
Exotic plant life with snow-covered mountain in the background, the clear air and the 
blue water, all intoxicated Monet on his first winter visit to the Mediterrenean:
" The palms make me despair [....] So much blue in the sea and the sky - it is immposible!"
(To Alice Hoschede, January 1884)
