Le Negresco, Nice | Framed Art Print

One of the most iconic landmarks on the French Riviera, Le Negresco Hotel has watched over the Promenade des Anglais for more than a century. With its unmistakable Belle Époque dome, elegant white façade and legendary art collection, it has become much more than a hotel—it is a symbol of Nice and the timeless glamour of the Côte d'Azur. From heads of state and celebrities to artists, travellers and curious passersby, Le Negresco has long been a stage for unforgettable arrivals and departures. I love sitting nearby, people-watching as valets greet guests, vintage cars and luxury vehicles pull up beneath its iconic entrance, and palm trees sway against the brilliant Riviera sky.

Living just a few streets away, I see Le Negresco's legendary dome from my balcony every day, and from a completely different perspective as I rollerblade along the Promenade des Anglais or swim in the Mediterranean each morning. Over time, I've become captivated by its elegant Belle Époque architecture, distinctive rooftop signage, expressive typography and remarkable presence on the Riviera skyline. Created from my original ink drawing, this black and white framed art print celebrates those expressive details while capturing the movement of the palm trees dancing in the Mediterranean breezes. Reduced to its essential forms, the sketch balances bold line work with generous negative space, inviting the viewer to complete the story through their own imagination.

Whether you've visited Nice, dream of returning, or simply love the architecture and atmosphere of the South of France, this contemporary French Riviera framed art print brings a refined sense of place to your home.

Inspirations

My first and most memorable impression of the French Riviera was driving along the Promenade des Anglais, mesmerized by the fresh Mediterranean air, towering palm trees and my first glimpse of the legendary Hotel Negresco. Its elegant Belle Époque façade, graceful curves, intricate architectural details and distinctive rooftop signage immediately captured my attention. As we continued west toward Cannes and Saint-Tropez, I found myself equally drawn to the striking contrast of white architecture against brilliant blue skies, palm-lined boulevards and the relaxed rhythm of life along the Mediterranean.

Years later, I was fortunate enough to live just a few streets away, with a perfect view of Le Negresco's iconic dome from my apartment. Every morning and evening, the French flag atop the hotel reflected the changing winds, becoming a quiet reminder of how lucky I was to call this extraordinary city home. Seeing the building every day only deepened my appreciation for its architecture, history and enduring presence on the Nice skyline.

Whether Le Negresco reminds you of time spent in Nice, a journey along the French Riviera, or simply a dream of visiting the Côte d'Azur one day, I wanted this artwork to capture more than a landmark. I wanted it to preserve the elegance, atmosphere and timeless spirit of one of the Riviera's most beloved icons.

Processus créatif

This illustration is the culmination of years of filling my travel sketchbooks with architectural studies, city scenes and landscape drawings from around the world. For the original artwork, I worked with pen and black ink on large fine art paper, distilling Le Negresco to its most expressive lines while preserving the elegance and character that make it such an iconic landmark.

From the intricate architectural details of the windows, doors and signage to the palm trees swaying along the Promenade des Anglais, every stroke of ink celebrates the rhythm, movement and atmosphere of this legendary French Riviera hotel. Once the drawing was complete, I carefully photographed the original artwork and refined the tonal range, contrast and highlights to faithfully reproduce every nuance. This framed art print is produced on premium fine art paper, preserving the richness of the original ink drawing and presented in a beautiful wooden frame, ready to hang.
