From National Gallery of Art, Washington:
In 1867, Frédéric Bazille spent a month in Aigues-Mortes, a fortified medieval town in southern France. Renowned for its well-preserved ramparts and as the launching point for two Crusades, Aigues-Mortes is also conveniently located less than 20 miles from what was the Bazille family property outside Montpellier.
