unwind a little...

“We ought to view ourselves with the same curiosity and openness with which we study a tree, the sky or a thought, because we too are linked to the entire universe.”
―Henri Matisse
 The painting is by Monet, and is named "Cliff Walk at Pourville 1882".
Monet and Matisse were French artists of the 19th/20th century.

 The music is part of a suite named "Bergamasque", written by the French composer Debussy. You can see how the words of Matisse, the painting of Monet and the music of Debussy all combine to bring about a feeling of calm and relaxation.
