<p><span>This is a view at Vence (Alpes-Maritimes), with the old seminary of Vence on the left and the road from Cagnes to Vence in the bottom right-hand corner. The Matisse chapel has since been built on the low ground to the right. </span>

<p><span>The picture was bequeathed simply as '<a class="glossarylinktopopup" data-gtm-destination="article-page" data-gtm-name="body_text_link" href="http://www.tate.org.uk/learn/online-resources/glossary/l/landscape" title="Glossary definition for 'Landscape'"><span>Landscape</span></a>', but Cyril and Claude Adams, who remembered selling it to Lord Henry Cavendish-Bentinck from an exhibition at the Independent Gallery about 1926, thought that its original title was 'Coup de Mistral' (Gust of the Mistral). Léon Marseille, through whose hands it originally passed, also referred to it in a letter of 15 June 1954 as 'Coup de Mistral' and dated it 1927. It was possibly the <a class="glossarylinktopopup" data-gtm-destination="article-page" data-gtm-name="body_text_link" href="http://www.tate.org.uk/learn/online-resources/glossary/p/painting" title="Glossary definition for 'Painting'"><span>painting</span></a> of this title exhibited at the Independent Gallery in June 1928, though the dimensions given for this in the catalogue, 17 1/2 x 22 1/2in, do not quite correspond. However a different painting called 'Coup de Mistral à Vence' was included in </span><i>Paintings and <a class="glossarylinktopopup" data-gtm-destination="article-page" data-gtm-name="body_text_link" href="http://www.tate.org.uk/learn/online-resources/glossary/d/drawing" title="Glossary definition for 'Drawing'"><span>Drawings</span></a> by Jean Marchand</i><span> at the Independent Gallery in June-July 1922 (9), and is reproduced in </span><i>The Dial</i><span>, LXXIII, 1922, between pp.388-9. Its dimensions were not given but its proportions correspond to those of the picture exhibited in 1928, so it may have been shown again then, and not <a class="acno-pop" data-gtm-destination="page--artwork" data-gtm-name="body_text_link" href="https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/appelbee-the-king-crab-n05151" title="View the details of this artwork"><span>N05151</span></a>. </span>
