More about this artwork
Gerhard Munthe’s enchanting landscape, "Marigold," painted in 1892, immerses viewers into a woodland realm where nature’s quietude speaks volumes. This painting captures the serene beauty of a forest creek, enveloped by lush greenery and dotted vibrantly with marigolds. The marigolds, painted with lively, bold strokes of yellow, enhance the otherwise tranquil greens and earthy tones that dominate the canvas, bringing a burst of light and life to the depiction.Munthe's mastery in blending realism with a touch of impressionistic flair is evident in the way light and shadow play across the painting, reflecting off the water's surface and filtering through the trees. The quiet brook meanders through the middle, creating a natural pathway that guides the eye through the verdant landscape. One can almost hear the gentle flow of water and the rustling leaves, a testament to Munthe’s ability to not only paint a scene but to evoke the senses."Marigold" is a celebration of nature’s pristine and unspoiled beauty, inviting the observer to step into a moment of peaceful solitude.
