Paysage de la Côte d'Azur is a 1865 oil by Henri Harpignies, a Barbizon school work, held at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a prominent tree in the foreground, set against a backdrop of a body of water and a distant mountain range. The scene is rendered in muted tones, with the tree's branches stretching upwards towards the sky. In the distance, the mountain range is visible, with the water's edge meeting the shore. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tranquility and peacefulness. If you're interested in exploring more works like this, you might want to check out the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
