In 1879, Edouard Manet wrote the work “In the Greenhouse”, which now belongs to the visual collections of the National Gallery of Berlin. The picture is distinguished by a catchy and variegated color. The painting depicts a young woman and a man. The couple was written out on the background of beautiful flowers in beautiful flowerpots with hand-painted. The lady sits on a bench, she is young and very beautiful. The man leaned on the back of the bench, and considers his companion.
The lady is depicted in a dress with a light bluish tint. Dress her complexion with black accents, emphasizing the line of the wrist, shoulders and waist. Fashion accessories are chosen with taste and in a single color range. The traditional fashion attributes of a young coquette are gloves, sophisticated fine dressing, an openwork lush umbrella, and a refined hat. The look of the young persona confident and even somewhat narcissistic. One feels that she is accustomed to the close and admiring glances from others, and above all, men. The right hand of the lady is wearing a glove of a complex shade to match the cap and umbrella, and the other hand is bare.
We can notice thin wrists and a tiny pen that distinguishes people of aristocratic breed. The young face of a young lady is focused, probably she is thinking over the words spoken by a man. Mane draws in front of us the image of a handsome, handsome man who is elegantly and richly dressed. In his left hand, he holds an unlit cigarette. The color of his beige trousers echoes the ladies’ ensemble of accessories and looks harmonious. The rich greenhouse atmosphere emphasizes in a favorable way the beauty and become a young couple. The lady is half-turned to see a man. Images are written out precisely, but in a characteristic impressionistic manner.
In the work you can find a lot of textures, shapes, multidirectional lines, strokes that mimic the sharp complex leaves of greenhouse plants. The picture has a kind of double dimension, a combination of portrait and landscape image. Beautiful pink inflorescences in the left part of the canvas are arranged so that they form a chain with strung buds resembling a spikelet. The pink shade of the colors is nicely set off by the delicate color of the young maiden skin. A greenhouse is a rich, bright world of flowers that amazes with the diversity of plant species, the oddity of their shape, size and color. The greenhouse resembles the world with all its diversity of images, colors and a variety of life forms.
Beauty surrounds us everywhere, the main thing is to be able to see it. So the man himself learned to create beautiful flowers, new types of ornamental plants. People will always miss the beauty in all its manifestations. Natural beauty, the beauty of flowers is a special beauty. Perhaps there is nothing more beautiful and beautiful than flowers. It was not for nothing that Manet loved to paint and make all kinds of sketches of flowers. Images of colors, one way or another, were present on many canvases of Man. These were lonely indoor plants, and lush flowers in flowerpots, and small bouquets in modest vases, and even whole greenhouses of beautiful flowers and plants for every taste.
