morning spring sun eragny camille pissarroAn orchard in bloom stretches out beneath a blue sky dotted with light clouds. Apple trees with twisted branches, covered in white and pink flowers, are scattered across a bright green meadow. Two figures are visible in the centre, bent over the ground, no doubt busy working the soil. In the background, taller trees and a few rooftops can be seen, suggesting the proximity of a village. In this painting, Camille Pissarro depicts a landscape in ragny,

where the maritime motif becomes a decorative game built around movement and repetition

as she retransposes it while giving it its freedom

surrealist vision

with marked contrasts between blue

without narration or functional precision

the symmetries of the objects overlap and result in a rivalry of axes that gives the impression of a secret life to a static whole

green garden

The artist plays with light and shadow to embellish his famous painting with minute

during a period when artists sought to experiment with new ways of expressing color and form

The atmosphere is charged with a certain melancholy

Painted in the mid-20th century

rooted in the ukiyo-e tradition
