- Renoir's house
La Ferme des Collettes, Auguste Renoir, 1915. His home. - Saint-Paul-de-Vence
Yup. - Hello there!
Plenty of interesting, intriguing, provocative or simply beautiful art in the many galleries around town. Unfortunately I couldn't find the author - or the title - of this one. - Promenade in Théoule-sur-Mer
- Femme allongée
A statue by Popoy (1993). - Local art
Well, I must admit I've got no idea what this is about. - Le Vent
This is a wonderful statue of the wind by Popoy (2013). - Les Sangliers de l’Esterel
These are some funny statues by Golec & Golec (2013). - La Vierge du Rosaire
La Vierge du Rosaire in Church of Saint-Marie-Madeleine in Biot. From around 1510. - Église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine in Biot
An interesting detail of renovated frescoes in Biot - La Vierge du Rosaire
A stunning detail on the painting of The Virgin of the Rosary (1510). - Les Arlequins by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Les Arlequins (1922-1944), detail. I kind of like the detached leg. - Le Cirque Bleu by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Le Cirque Bleu (1950-1952), detail. Moon playing a violin, but of course. - La Tour de David by Chagall

Marc Chagall, Adam and Eve Expelled from Paradise (1961). Self-portrait in the top right corner. Animals look away but the mother with the child "confirms this rather optimistic vision of the Sin". - La Rose Bleue by Chagall
Marc Chagall, La Rose Bleue (1964). - Paysage Méditerranéen by Chagall
Detail of the Paysage Méditerranéen tapestry (1971). A superb depiction of La promenade des Anglais. And a superb tapestry. - Paysage Méditerranéen by Chagall
A tapestry by Chagall (1971). He claimed he was born for the second time once he moved to Côte d'Azur (Vence). The left sun is above St. Paul de Vence and the right sun above Nice. - Blue!
The Creation of the World, stained glass window. By Chagall, of course. Not many artists get to co-create their own galleries. - La Création de l'homme by Chagall
Marc Chagall, The Creation of Man (1956-1958), detail. And just like that, there's someone hanging upside-down on a pole, while God is creating Adam. - Le Paradis by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Le Paradis (1961), detail. The Temptation of Adam and Eve. This is just beautiful. - Adam et Ève Chassés du Paradis by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Adam and Eve Expelled from Paradise (1961), detail. My favourite part of the painting. - Paysage Méditerranéen by Chagall
Detail of the Paysage Méditerranéen tapestry (1971). And again - a comforting mother with child in the bottom right corner. - Renoir's house
