The Colombe d'Or is a famous hotel in the South of France, established in 1931 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, where leading artists of the day including Picasso or Matisse would dine or stay, sometimes leaving paintings to pay their bills. Chris Gollon was intrigued by the idea of these two artists being under the same roof, and decided to paint two nudes, mixing his own style with those of Matisse and Picasso, under a Provençal night sky.
