Monet's Formal Garden 1886

"Monet's Formal Garden," painted in 1886 by American artist Willard Metcalf, portrays a serene landscape featuring a meticulously arranged garden. The artwork depicts a formal garden with rows of white flowers in bloom, a stone wall, and a small house in the background. The garden is framed by a lush green field, extending into the distance. The painting captures the beauty of nature, with a soft, impressionistic style, and showcases Metcalf's interest in capturing the delicate light and textures of the natural world. This private collection artwork is an example of Metcalf's keen observation of his environment and his ability to convey a sense of tranquility in his landscape paintings.
