Barbara, René Stoeltie og Taschen Living in Provence. 45th Ed.

Produktbeskrivelse

Nestled in the south of France, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, is a land renowned for its lavender fields , fine cuisine , golden sun , and dreamy landscapes . The region of Provence has inspired such masters as Alphonse Daudet and Vincent van Gogh. So enthralled was Paul Cézanne by the Mont Sainte-Victoire that he immortalized it in a series of paintings. We enter his Provence studio, which still looks the same as it did over a century ago, as well as the house where Frédéric Mistral , 1904 Nobel Prize winner, lived and wrote. We also admire the wrought-iron staircase and embroidered curtains of the Hotel Nord-Pinus in Arles , which hosted the likes of Napoleon III , Jean Cocteau , and Picasso . Across picturesque villages perched atop rocky hillsides, quaint gardens filled with olive trees and the heady scent of lavender, tiled rooftop terraces and warm, ochre tones: this book gathers the region’s most remarkable homes and interiors and paints a gorgeous picture of Provençal living.
