daubignys garden vincent van goghPainted in 1890, Daubigny's Garden by Vincent Van Gogh, leader of Post Impressionism, is an essential work by the artist. Rich in vivid colours and expressive forms, this landscape depicts the garden of the painter Charles Franois Daubigny, reflecting Van Gogh's deep admiration for his colleague. In the centre of the painting, lush green paths stretch out, punctuated by bright flowers. In the background, a house rises up, its blue roof reminding us of

Max Beckmann

The coarse texture of the canvas

sublimates a picturesque landscape that is deeply attached to the very essence of Polynesian existence

solitude which translates well his personality both in this work and in Bathers at Asnières
