"The Corniche of Monaco" is a painting by Claude Monet made in 1884. The work captures a coastal landscape of the French Riviera, showing a road winding up a hill with the Mediterranean Sea in the background.
Monet was fond of travelling in search of new subjects and atmospheres to paint, and the French Riviera, with its intense light and bright colours, fascinated him.
The "Corniche" referred to in the title was once a narrow mountain path, but today it is a main road between Nice and Monaco. The painting features a scene with a lone figure walking along the path, and the short shadows suggest that the sun is high in the sky. The colors used by Monet, such as reds, greens and blues, shine and create a vibrant effect, capturing the bright atmosphere of the region.
