Synopsis

A monumental format, sun-drenched light, and a seventy-year mystery. This “View of Le Cannet” stands out in Pierre Bonnard's typically intimate works.

Disappeared for decades, it resurfaced at Christie's in 2008, fetching a record price.

Why did this bold piece remain hidden? Behind this landscape lies a shadowy chapter in the life of a master.
