The Rose Garden

19th-century French School oil on canvas signed by C.Renard (19th century). The canvas has a little texture to the touch.

A still life with a otherworldly light illuminating potted flowers, which glow with a complexity and volume, demonstrating two scenes in one: The flowers picked in the basket, and those arranged in the background in a bouquet. Rake and shovel are partly in the dark, revealing a theatrical garden drama. Logical staging or metaphor for the human attempt to organize the beauty of nature?
