The painting “Roses Tremieres (Hollyhocks)” by Berthe Morisot was created in 1884 as part of the Impressionism movement. This artwork is an oil painting on canvas, measuring 54 cm by 65 cm, and falls under the landscape genre. The piece is currently housed at the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris, France.
In the artwork, one can observe a garden brimming with lush greenery and hollyhocks reaching towards the sky. The colors are vibrant and applied with loose brushstrokes typical of Impressionist works, providing a sense of movement and lightness. The composition includes a wooden table and a chair in the forefront, which invite the viewer into the scene, suggesting a calm and leisurely moment in a serene garden setting. The presence of flowers and foliage in varying shades of green, white, and pops of other colors contribute to the overall peaceful and joyful atmosphere of the scene. Morisot’s use of light and shadow demonstrates her skill in capturing the essence of a sunny garden day.
