Description
Eden-Roc Pool transports you to an August afternoon in 1976 at the legendary Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc, where bronzed guests recline on pristine white loungers beside the Mediterranean’s most famous saltwater infinity pool. Carved directly into the basalt cliffs of Cap d’Antibes in 1914, this crystalline oasis merges seamlessly with the azure horizon beyond. Sunbathers dot the rocky coastline while swimmers glide beneath the mineral-rich waters that have beckoned Continental aristocracy and Hollywood royalty for over a century. The Riviera’s golden hour bathes everything in honey-colored warmth, from the weathered limestone terraces to the towering Aleppo pines that frame this rarefied enclave of leisure.
When Slim Aarons captured this quintessential scene of Riviera refinement, he documented more than wealthy vacationers at play; he preserved a sanctuary where privacy and pleasure converge on France’s most coveted shoreline. This gallery-standard image introduces the same unhurried maritime rhythm that has drawn luminaries from Fitzgerald to Picasso to these very waters. Eden-Roc Pool brings the intoxicating blend of sea spray, sun-warmed stone, and ocean pine into your living space, transforming any room into a portal to the Côte d’Azur’s premier retreat. The composition’s balanced geometry of horizontal chaises versus vertical rocks creates visual harmony that grounds contemporary interiors with classical elegance.
Owning this Slim Aarons print means waking each morning to the promise of endless summer, where time moves at the pace of gentle waves lapping alongside ancient rocks. Your walls become windows to a world where three-hour lunches and midday swims constitute the day’s only obligations. Visitors instinctively pause before this image, drawn into conversations about seaside adventures and dreams of waterfront escapes. The piece transforms your home into a sophisticated gallery of worldly taste, suggesting you understand that true luxury lies not in ostentation but in the art of gracious living. Each glance reminds you that somewhere on the Riviera, this timeless scene continues to unfold, and via this acquisition, you hold permanent residence in that exclusive world.
