Orchard at Eemnes, Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst, 1888 - 1895

Orchard at Eemnes, Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst, 1888 - 1895 — Orchard at Eemnes

Painter: Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst
Year: 1888 - 1895
Medium: oil on canvas

Description: This garden is somewhat enigmatic: where are we? The space is enclosed, you can barely see the sky. There are no people. There is no realistic light, nor any realistic representation of trees, grass, flowers. Every leaf and fruit is reduced into a colourful, geometric shape. As a result, the garden becomes a magical place, detached from the real world.
