The researchers found that Van Gogh depicted one of the corners of the beautiful garden of the hospital in Saint-Rémy. At the bottom of the picture we see irises. They are found in many of the artist’s paintings. They surround a fairly narrow path. It is she who passes by a lilac bush, which impresses with its magnificent color. It occupies a central place on this canvas. In the background you can see a fence surrounded by a garden. The dark trunk of the tree allows you to limit space diagonally.
It is no coincidence that this canvas is the most beautiful creation of Van Gogh. It combines bright colors, with the help of which the artist manages to convey the special charm of the south. The cold and pure shades of blue predominate. The bush acquires an ideal lightness and incredible airiness. Bath Gogh – a real master, who was able to convey how the leaves tremble.
Impressive is the splendor of the grass and flowers that we see in the foreground. They are written out incredibly clearly and subtly. We immerse ourselves in the magical atmosphere of a warm day, which is filled with sunshine, breathtaking aromas and fresh spring.
The artist completely disappears into this magnificence of nature. Quite possibly, so he wanted to forget about the suffering that was associated with his illness. The dark blue sky shows us his condition. Only it introduces a certain tension in the general atmosphere of this majestic canvas.
In this picture, Van Gogh’s special manner is felt. Smears of it are impressive with thin lines, shapes are surprisingly powerful dynamics, the colors are exaggeratedly bright. The texture here is incredibly expressive. It may seem that the picture radiates joy, which highlights it from the inside with a special magical light. But it is in this riot of colors and beauty that nature can feel the strength of the painter’s feelings. The viewer understands that with all the desire to go into the world of nature, the illness takes its toll. This picture Van Gogh wrote a year before his death. At that time he was in a shelter for the mentally ill.
