About the artwork

The painting shows an impressive rose arch that invites the viewer to enter deeper into a seemingly wild yet fascinating garden. The play of light and shadow on the lawn in front of and behind the rose arch gives the scene depth and dynamism. A violet-pink garden gate on the left leads to a mysterious, invisible part of the garden surrounded by dense flowers and blossoms. In front of this coloured wooden shack as a gate is a bench that invites contemplation and consideration of whether one would also like to enter the mysterious garden to the left.

The garden itself can be understood as a symbol for the Garden of Eden or simply for the untouched beauty of nature. Here, nature itself is portrayed as an artist, providing the flowers, colours and lush splendour that no earthly artist could ever have fully invented without the knowledge and discovery of these. The painting, although freely and spontaneously invented without a model, captures the resemblance to reality in an impressive way.

Stylistic elements of realism and impressionism are evident in this work of art. The attention to detail, the depiction of light and shadow, and the emphasis on nature as a source of beauty all contribute to the painting's ability to transport the viewer into a world of nature and imagination. It reminds us how nature can serve as a muse for art and how it invites us to appreciate and admire its beauty.
