With Henri Matisse, Auguste Herbin had discovered the Fauvist expressivity of colors in the village of Collioure on the southern coast of France. In 1907 he met the German art dealer Wilhelm Uhde, who invited him to Corsica. The paintings he created there, light-filled views in and around the port of Bastia helped the artist make his breakthrough. Uhde bought a group of these works.
