On April 25, 1908, Aristide Maillol embarked for Greece with his patron, Count Harry Kessler. The Louvre Museum had already introduced him to Antiquity, and yet the recognition was immediate: "Upon arriving, I thought I was back in Banyuls!"

Same houses, same windmill, and on the road to Delphi, the bay of Itea reminded him of his own. He brought back Notes from a Trip to Greece, exhibited here, the only journal he ever kept, as he hated writing.
