Painting landscapes, Van Gogh tries to convey the ever-changing state of nature. In the park, D’Argenson, where he often visited the open air, he was attracted by unusual lighting. A bright ray of the summer sun illuminates a flowering bush in the shaded corner of the garden.
In order to catch a fleeting and rapidly passing state, the author uses wide quick brush strokes that successfully convey the texture of grass, foliage and trampled path going past a lush lighted bush. In the shadows, the muted greens are combined with cold shades of cobalt, and the sensation of light is intensified by the hot yellow color. The artist almost does not mix colors on the palette, using the impressionistic technique of a separate smear. Thanks to this, the colors make the picture unusually lively, shimmering and shimmering with pure saturated colors.
The composition of the picture is constructed in such a way that all attention is focused on the blooming bush that flashes from the bright light. The trees in the background create a dark outline around it, which helps the artist to enhance the sensation of light. They are written in general, one solid mass, but as multicolored as all the other elements of the landscape. In the distance, you can see a wide river with a massive bridge, which Van Gogh portrayed in other of his paintings.
