Description
Rows of standard rose trees, their slender trunks topped with full round heads of pink, red and white blooms, march across this garden toward a long country house with grey slate roofs. The composition is all diagonals and rhythm, the rose stems repeating like a colonnade as they lead the eye back to the pale stone facade at Wargemont.
Renoir builds the scene from short, dappled touches of color: warm ochre and olive in the lawn and hedges, cool grey-blue in the roofline and distant trees, and bursts of coral, crimson and white where the roses cluster densely. The overall effect is of a hazy, sun-warmed afternoon, light diffusing evenly across the whole garden rather than casting hard shadows.
A garden scene this rich in bloom and light makes an especially natural choice for a home or garden room. It is offered as a museum-quality canvas print in a range of sizes, made to order and shipped worldwide.
