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 1962.

The writer Somerset Maugham reaches for an orange in the celebrated artistic garden of his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1962. Photographed in profile on the stone patio, he wears a dark sport coat, a light-colored shirt and tie, and wide-legged tan trousers. With his left hand tucked into a pocket, he stands as sunlight casts long shadows across the weathered pavers of the lush landscape he began cultivating after purchasing the property in 1926.
