Henri Matisse arrived in Nice in 1917 at age 48 and, aside from roughly five years spent in nearby Vence, stayed until his death in 1954. He first settled at the Hôtel Beau Rivage on the Promenade des Anglais, then worked from a studio at 105 Quai des États-Unis before moving into the "Yellow House" studio on Cours Saleya, in Nice's Old Town — the real backdrop for much of the light-filled, Riviera-influenced work he's now known for. He's buried, with his wife, in the Cimiez cemetery, close to the museum that now bears his name.
That museum, the Musée Matisse, opened in 1963 in the Villa des Arènes — a 17th-century Genoese building in Cimiez — and was expanded in 1993 with a modern, partly underground wing. It holds nearly 600 works tracing his career from the 1890s through to the paper cut-outs of his final years.
Picasso's own Riviera chapter is more compressed but no less real: in September 1946, curator Romuald Dor de la Souchère invited him to work from a room inside the Château Grimaldi in Antibes. Picasso stayed until mid-November, left 23 paintings and 44 drawings to the town, and the château reopened as the Picasso Museum in 1966. That same year, 1946, he also began working with potters Suzanne and Georges Ramié at the Madoura workshop in nearby Vallauris — the start of the ceramics work that occupied much of his later career.
The Matisse-designed chapel on this route is the Chapelle du Rosaire, and it's worth getting its location right: it stands in Vence itself, not the separate nearby village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Matisse, ailing and living in Vence from 1943 under the care of Monique Bourgeois — his former model, by then a Dominican nun — designed the chapel between 1947 and 1951 at her community's request, down to the stained glass, murals, and even the priests' vestments. He considered it his masterpiece. The day closes with real wine tasting at Château de Crémat, a working estate within the Bellet AOC — one of France's oldest appellations, formally decreed in 1941, and notable for being entirely contained within the city limits of Nice, with vines on this same terrain tracing back to Roman times.
