"Drawing is feeling; colour an act of reason " - Pierre Bonnard (1867 – 1947)

Fort Antoine (large version).

The final version of the painting is based on a number of sepia drawings and watercolours including 0704-001(above). This view of Fort Antoine was possible thanks to the construction of the new port of Monaco. It allowed the artist to view the battlements, for the first time, from a new perspective.
