An account of Monet's trip to Italy by EVA figes
Punch flame and pigeon breast were the only words Monet could find to define the unusual and difficult colours of the northern Italian landscape. Throughout his stay in Bordighera in 1884, he wrote to his large family, chronicling his loneliness, frustrations and occasional diversions.
