More about this artwork
"At the Côte d’Azur" (circa 1926) by Carl Moll transports viewers to the serene and sun-drenched shores of the French Riviera with its lush depiction of this famed coastal region. In this vibrant composition, Moll masterfully captures the verdant landscapes and distinctive Mediterranean vegetation. The foreground, rich with dense, textured brushstrokes, shows a row of elegant trees stretching their branches toward the sky, their trunks marked by dappled sunlight.The middle ground invites the eye to wander through a park-like setting to the azure waters of the sea, hinting at the leisurely pace of life on the Côte d’Azur. The background, painted with softer and lighter strokes, features the distant sea merging seamlessly into the sky, suggesting the vast openness and tranquil beauty typical of the Riviera. Moll’s palette of greens, blues, and earth tones echoes the natural harmony of the region, while lively patches of white and yellow suggest sunlight playing over the landscape.
