<div>Painted from an unusually high vantage, “Riviera Coast Scene” vividly conveys the formidable distance and breadth of the scene from the perch where he set his easel.  Interestingly, Paul Rafferty did not include this painting in his book Winston Churchill: Painting on the French Riviera, believing it could likely be a scene from the Italian Lake District, where Churchill also painted in the same time period.  Paintings by Churchill can function as a glimpse into his extensive travels and his colorful life. Churchill most likely painted “Riviera Coast Scene” during a holiday at Chateau de l’Horizon, home of Maxine Elliot, a friend of his mother. Elliot, originally from Rockland, Maine, was a successful actress and socialite.  Within this painting, we see the influence of the Impressionists who utilized unusual viewpoints, modeled after Japanese woodblock prints, but also evidence of their attempts to push the boundaries of the landscape genre.</div> <div>Painted from an unusually high vantage, “Riviera Coast Scene” vividly conveys the formidable distance and breadth of the scene from the perch where he set his easel.  Interestingly, Paul Rafferty did not include this painting in his book Winston Churchill: Painting on the French Riviera, believing it could likely be a scene from the Italian Lake District, where Churchill also painted in the same time period.  Paintings by Churchill can function as a glimpse into his extensive travels and his colorful life.

非常に高い位置から描かれたこの「リヴィエラ海岸の情景」は、彼がイーゼルを置いた高台からの圧倒的な距離と広さを鮮明に伝えている。 興味深いことに、ポール・ラファティはこの絵を自身の著書『ウィンストン・チャーチル』に掲載しなかった：興味深いことに、ポール・ラファティはこの絵を彼の著書『Winston Churchill: Painting on the French Riviera』に掲載しなかった。 チャーチルの絵画は、彼の広範な旅行や多彩な人生を垣間見ることができる。チャーチルが「リヴィエラ海岸の情景」を描いたのは、母親の友人であったマキシーヌ・エリオットの家、シャトー・ド・リゾンで休暇を過ごしていた時のことであろう。エリオットはメイン州ロックランド出身で、女優としても社交界でも成功していた。 この絵の中には、日本の木版画を手本にした珍しい視点を用いた印象派の影響が見られるが、同時に、風景画というジャンルの境界を押し広げようとした彼らの試みの証拠でもある。
