Claude Darmand
French Impressionist Oil on Canvas Landscape View of Les Villas à Bordighera

About the Item

French oil on canvas view of a villa at Bordighera in Italy on the Italian Riviera by Claude Darmand. The painting is signed, dated and dedicated bottom left. Presented in a plain patinated wood frame. A charming view of a collection of magnificent Belle Époque villas and their gardens at Bordighera on the southern border between Italy and France. Darmand has captured all the lushness of the gardens which are so noted in this part of Italy, the palm and Yucca trees in flower. In the distance the hazy blue of the mountains blending with the blue of the sky. The use of material and the sgraffito technique has created a wonder patina to the surface of the canvas. Bordighera is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) from the land border between Italy and France, the French coast is visible from the town. Having the Capo Sant'Ampelio, which protrudes into the sea, it is the southernmost commune of the region. The cape is at around the same latitude as Pisa and features a little church built in the 11th century for Sant'Ampelio, the patron saint of the city. Since Bordighera is built where the Maritime Alps plunge into the sea, it benefits from the Foehn effect which creates a special microclimate with warmer winters and has been a favourite retreat for the rich and famous who have built magnificent villas and created wonderful gardens.
