Strange Garden 1903

Józef Mehoffer’s 1903 painting *Strange Garden* depicts a whimsical scene set in a lush garden. A woman in a blue dress reaches for an apple in a tree while a young boy, nude and holding hollyhocks, stands in the foreground. A large dragonfly flies overhead, symbolizing the mystical and ethereal nature of the scene. The painting embodies the symbolism and decorative motifs characteristic of Art Nouveau, with its rich colors, flowing lines, and focus on nature. It is currently housed in the National Museum in Warsaw, Poland.
