Description
In his masterpiece, Jeanne-Marguerite Lecadre (Lady in a Garden), painted in 1867 Claude Monet beautifully incorporates these tenets of Impressionistic painting. Characterized by painting one’s perceptions over reality, Monet paid special attention to the contrast between light and dark, and the intensity of color as it relates to nature. With thick, short brush stokes, the artist gives texture within the lush foliage while shadows emerge from the use of contrast. This beautiful painting of a Lady in a well-manicured garden is a study of Monet’s incredible talent and skill. This lovely masterpiece will adorn any room it graces with the beautiful color and cheerfulness it transmits.
