Somerset Maugham lived at his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. He bought the property in 1926 from a bishop and created one of the most beautiful artistic gardens in the world. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1960.
In the lush, sun-dappled garden he created at his Villa Mauresque, writer Somerset Maugham stands on a stone path. Photographed in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in 1960, he looks directly at the camera with a calm, contemplative expression, delicately holding a single dark flower. Dressed in a light-colored jacket and dark trousers, he is framed by overflowing foliage and blossoms, with the bright sunlight casting strong shadows throughout the high-contrast scene.
