In 1907 Renoir purchased almost six acres of property in the south of France and began construction of a villa and outdoor studio. In addition to its stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and the town of Cagnes-sur-mer, the property (Les Collettes) boasted hundreds of olive and orange trees as well as rosebushes, and provided that artist with inspiration for the rest of his life.
