From Museum of Fine Arts, Boston:
As Monet grew older, his paintings became simpler. He began to focus on a single, isolated motif, the better to record the changes in color and light wrought on it by different times of day and fluctuations in weather. “Cap d’Antibes, Mistral” is one of three paintings of these very same trees that Monet made during his four-month sojourn in Antibes, from January through May 1888.
