“The Night Garden,” an oil on canvas painting by the artist Paul Delvaux, was created in 1942. This surrealist genre painting measures 110 x 145 cm and exemplifies Delvaux’s distinctive style. The setting is an enigmatic nocturnal garden where several female nudes, rendered in a classical manner, interact with the landscape. The background includes architectural elements and a fountain, typical of Delvaux’s dreamlike environments. The sky is deep and blue, evoking the tranquility of the night. The figures, despite their physical proximity, appear disconnected, contributing to a sense of surreal silence and contemplation.
