The neo-impressionist Henri-Edmond Cross (1856–1910) was one of several vanguard artists of the late nineteenth century who traveled south, to France’s Mediterranean coast, for his health, settling on the Côte d’Azur from 1891 onwards. Cross’s chronic arthritis has been constructed by his biographers, his friends, and even himself as a catalyst to his image-making. The aim of this article is to contextualize how the subject of his ill health dominates art-historical analyses of his oeuvre, and why it has unwittingly become the foundation of his biography. Through primary texts and images, this article analyzes Cross’s life on the Côte d’Azur as a case study, not a lionizing biography, bound to contemporaneous medico-geographical perceptions of the ‘imprinting’ power of southern climates on northern bodies, especially invalids.
