"Painting the French Riviera" Exhibition VIP Private View at the Royal Academy of Arts, Piccadilly

by Hannibal Reitan

The French Riviera is not a place. It is a dream of paradise, one of those Arcadias we long for, timeless, perfect worlds saturated with light, where artists found inspiration in the modern age.

This new exhibition showcases the works of Neo-Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, and Modernists in the French Riviera. Featured artists include Henri Matisse, Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, and Pablo Picasso.
