(From the dust jacket) “The artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir spent his last years at Les Collettes, a magnificent nine-acre estate near Cannes-sue-Mer and within sight of the Mediterranean. Looking for a home in the favorable climate of the south, Renoir fell in love with Les Collettes, where a shimmering meadow surrounded the green-shuttered farmhouse, and gnarled olive trees framed spectacular views of the distant mountains and the sea.…With its rich blend of photographs of the house and garden today and nostalgic snapshots of Renoir at his easel, as well as reproductions of some of his paintings, Renoir’s Garden gives us a very personal and touching glimpse of the inspiration behind the work of one of the world’s greatest Impressionist painters.”
