蒙日虹之花园一角(英文)

Corner of the Garden at Montgeron

Created at the very height of Impressionism, this work is a typicalexample of how the Impressionist artists sought to convey a passingglimpse or impression of nature as seen by the human eye. For this purposeMonet took as his motif1 a blooming garden, and very successfully createdan image of vivid, changing nature. The coloring, founded on the eye’s combination at a distance of what arein fact separate brushstrokes of pure color, is suffused2 with daylight and air,and the dynamics of this plein-air3 effect are reinforced by the vibrant4 paintsurface.
