The scenes above and right reflect the one Henri Matisse showed through an open window in the painting at the top of this page.
Scattered throughout the town of Collioure are "frames" through which photographers can capture the same scenes scenes Matisse painted there early in the 20th century.

Beautiful paintings. Lovely use of colors.
Same scenes but different representations. Interesting to see the contrast of realism through photography and artistic impressions that, although less exact, convey an essence unseen by the camera. So great you had a chance to view the works of this important artist!
How wonderful. I would jump on a train right now and head south, if only I didn't have to do this silly work thing! xxx
Beautiful photos repeated in Matisse's works, Kay. I hope you're well and enjoying your visit at your family. (((hugs))) Jo
Brilliant idea to have 'frames' set up around the locale - inspired!
Fantastic and creative idea for this post dear Kay, congratulations!
Lovely paintings, awesome pictures!

What bright, cheerful colors in the paintings! I do appreciate your putting the present-day scene in photographs, to what was the inspiration for Matisse during the past century. The idea of frames around town is unique and very thoughtful. Thanks for an enjoyable and informative post.

Wow! Nice to get the same frames as the original painter.
Gorgeous photos Kay, can just picture Matisse sitting in those spots translating his vision onto a canvas.
love the way you've matched your photos to the paintings!
And, what a beautiful world it is! I adore Matisse.
I really like the "frames" all set up to capture Matisse's views. It must have been exciting to see these beautiful scenes.
Thank you for putting the paintings along side the photos. This was so much fun to see! I really appreciate your hard work with this fun post.
