Fry was a regular visitor to southern France for much of his life and in 1931 he acquired Mas d'Angirany, a farmhouse on the Route d'Antiques leading out of St Remy-de-Provence, a house he shared with Charles and Marie Mauron. Frances Spalding has written: "it is not surprising that some of Fry's most lyrical late landscapes, with their observation of flickering light and intense responsiveness to "the spirit of the place", were painted in the area in and around St Remy."
