Painting: The Farm at Collettes
Artist: Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Medium: Oil on Canvas

Year: 1908-14
Style: Impressionism
Bequest of Charlotte Gina Abrams, in memory of her husband, Lucien Abrams, 1961 61.190
In 1907 Renoir purchased almost six acres of property in the south of France and began construction of a villa and outdoor studio. In addition to its stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and the town of Cagnes-sur-mer, the property (Les Collettes) boasted hundreds of olive and orange trees as well as rosebushes, and provided that artist with inspiration for the rest of his life.
Painting: Farm in Brittany 2
Artist: Paul Gauguin
Style: Post-Impressionism
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Size: 28 1/2 x 35 5/8 in
Year: 1894
Bequest of Margaret Seligman Lewisohn, in memory of her husband, Sam A.Lewisohn, 1954 54.143.2
After returning to Paris from his first trip to Tahiti, Gauguin spent the summer and fall of 1894 painting in the north of France. “I love Brittany,” he said. “I find here the savage and the primitive. When my boots clang on this granite earth, I hear the dull, muffled tone that I am seeking in painting.”
Painting: Mont Sainte-Victoire and The Viaduct of The Arc River Valley
Artist: Cezanne, Paul
Style: Post-Impressionism
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Size: 25.75 x 32.125″
Year: 1882-85
Bequest of Mrs.H.O.Havemeyer, 1929 29.100.64
This view toward Mont Sainte-Victoire was one of Cezanne’s favorites during the mid-1880s. Scholars have recently determined that he painted this canvas from the hill behind his sister’s new house, Montbriand on Valcros hill. Today the Arc River valley is the site of a superhighway linking southern France to Italy.
Painting: The Bodmer Oak, Fontainebleau Forest
Artist: Claude Monet
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Size: 37 7/8 x 50 7/8 in. (96.2 x 129.2 cm)
Style: Impressionism
Signed (lower right): Claude Monet
Gift of Sam Salz and Bequest of Julia W. Emmons, by exchange, 1964 (64.210)
This view of the Fontainebleau forest is thought to be an early study for an ambitious picnic scene, Dejeuner sur l’herbe, which Monet never finished. (Fragments of it are now at the Musee d’Orsay, Paris.) The large oak had been depicted by several artists in the mid-1800s; it was unofficially named after the Swiss painter Karl Bodmer, who had exhibited a view of it in the Salon of 1850.
