The Mediterranean has a particular way of making a room feel lighter. Sun-washed colour, open horizons, faded walls and the deep blues of sea and sky bring something of that slower rhythm indoors. Monet’s Antibes, Sorolla’s luminous beaches and Van Gogh’s Provence all capture different sides of the same feeling: the warmth of the sun, the brightness of the landscape and the pleasure of simply being there. These are artworks made to live with, bringing light, colour and a little of the Mediterranean way of life into the spaces around them.
