From 1868, Meissonier goes regularly to Antibes in the south of France. The Salice road by the Mediterranean sea is one of his favourite spots and he often paints it. Antibes, la promenade à cheval (musée d'Orsay, Paris) and Le général et son aide de camp, route de la Salice (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) show the Salice road seen much closer to the sea and the fort. In our picture, Meissonier has wonderfully captured the beautiful light and colours of Southern France.
