The Stroll in the Garden end of 19th century

Charming painting, in the impressionist style,
staging a family stroll in the garden.
Theme dear to the artists at the end of the 19th century,
the garden offers intimate scenes, painted on the spot, colorful and joyful

At the bend of an alley,
dresses and smiling faces,
scattered with luminous touches,
the spectator is here the privileged witness
of a moment of complicit happiness between this young girl and the children.

The woman is very often the central subject
of impressionist paintings.
Their role in society is evolving,
and so does the way artists look at them.
The classical portrait is replaced by scenes of everyday life,
we no longer look at the woman only for her social rank or her beauty,
but for herself.
Painting reflects the changes in society.
