“The Garden at Bellevue,” created in 1880 by Edouard Manet, exemplifies the Impressionist art movement. Rendered in oil on canvas, this landscape artwork measures 65 by 54 centimeters and is currently part of a private collection. Painted in Paris, France, the piece reflects Manet’s characteristic brushwork and vibrant color palette.
The artwork depicts a serene garden scene, dominated by lush greenery and punctuated by vibrant red flowers in the foreground. A woman, clad in a dark blue dress with a hat, is seated on the grass, partially obscured by the foliage. In the background, a charming house with a slate roof and several chimneys adds a touch of architectural interest. The composition exudes tranquility and captures the essence of an idyllic, sunlit garden, demonstrating Manet’s mastery in conveying atmosphere and light.
