Shadow Shot Sunday 190 - St Paul de Vence


Shadows fall across the very pretty cemetery of St Paul de Vence, a hilltop village near the Riviera town of Vence which is very well known for its artists and galleries....


Indeed one very famous artist is buried here, namely Marc Chagall....

Final Resting Place........



They all came for the light and many ended up here forever - I am of course referring to all the great artists who lived, worked and died here on the French Riviera - Matisse, Renoir, Cocteau, Picasso, Bonnard, Chagall, Cezanne, Leger, Dufy....


I have visited all their galleries....and recently many of their graves, where the intense Mediterranean  light continues to enhance their final resting places...


Apparently someone who likes to wander through cemeteries is called a taphophile - check out more by clicking here for Taphophile Tuesday....Enjoy!
