Theme: Love

In The Garden - Pierre Auguste Renoir

Describe- the painting shows one boy and one girl. The boy is staring at the girl and has his arm wrapped around her waist. The girl seems indifferent to him. The painting is full of bright colors.

Analyze- the background is full of dark and bright green leaves in a tree. There are lots of edge lines. The two people are wearing light blue colored clothes that are made with soft brushstrokes. They are sitting at a table that it bright yellow and covered with flowy flowers. The foreground is covered with soft brown brushstrokes that blend together.

Interpret- I think that the light and happy colors in the painting and the soft brushstrokes show that love is gentle and pure. I think the man staring at the girl shows his deep sign of affection for her while the the girl seems lost in her own thoughts because she is staring straight ahead. I think the bright table and the flowers on it show that love is also giving and your actions because he gave her flowers.
