Adolphe MONTICELLI was a great modern painter
innovative in a very personal style at a time when impressionism was born
Vangogh arriving in Paris and painting in a rather academic style had the revelation when he saw in his brother a work of Monticelli
Thanks to him Van Gogh also accesses a modernity, overturning the academic methods of the time
This painting is a real gem
we see two elegant women conversing in a park, at their side a basin or a jet of water and pulsating in the air
