"The Valley of the Nervia" is an oil painting on canvas by Claude Monet from 1884. This work belongs to the period at the beginning of 1884 when the artist explored the coast and hinterland of the Ligurian Riviera, in Italy.
Monet spent about three months in the area, staying at Bordighera, and was struck by the local light and landscapes, which he considered a new experience for his painting. "The Valley of the Nervia" depicts the valley of the river Nervia, which flows into the Mediterranean, and includes the village of Camporosso, nestled among the hills. In the background one can glimpse the snow-capped peaks of the Maritime Alps, on the border with France.
In this picture Monet uses light, luminous tones to depict the scene, capturing its atmosphere. The painting is currently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
