Artwork description
Claude Monet · The Parisian garden in 1878 · Wildenstein 468
Monet looks at Parc Monceau from the shadow of very close foliage. Trunks, branches and flowering shrubs build an irregular screen through which an alley and a few elegant walkers appear. Greens, whites and roses do not only describe a garden: they restore the dazzling light fragmented by the leaves.

Look at the work
Two trunks rise near the center and divide the garden into narrow passages. Around them, branches laden with leaves and flowers occupy the edges of the painting like a natural setting. The light ground of the path appears in fragments; it leads towards small silhouettes without creating too regular a perspective.
Walkers remain distant and partially hidden. Their dark or light clothing can be read as accents among the foliage. In the foreground, white and pink flowers are indicated by thick touches; at the bottom, the shapes tighten and become lighter.
The park is not seen from an open driveway, but through a screen of branches that makes every appearance valuable.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
Monet places the viewer behind trunks and shrubs. This position gives the foreground an unusual density and creates several windows towards the aisle.
Whites, yellows and pinks do not form uniform lighting. They appear between the greens and give the impression of filtered sunlight.
Walkers are neither portraits nor independent subjects. Their scale and colors serve to measure depth and evoke the social life of the park.
Reference image
The unique reference precisely reproduces the Wildenstein 468 version cataloged by Christie's. The file of 3,200 × 2,627 px was reduced to 3,000 × 2,463 px, without enlargement, then converted to WebP.
Flowering shrubs, trunks, paths and silhouettes overlap. Depth arises from these overlaps rather than a visible line of flight.
Yellow greens, emerald, olive and blue-green coexist. Touches of white, pink and orange prevent vegetation from becoming a uniform mass.
Nearby flowers and leaves receive frank gestures. Towards the bottom, the paint tightens and the shapes blend into a clearer light.
Documented benchmarks
This version of Parc Monceau, painted and signed in 1878, bears number 468 of the Wildenstein catalog raisonné and measures 54.1 × 65 cm.
Monet returned to Parc Monceau in 1878 and painted three similar compositions. This version is distinguished by its point of view taken behind very dense foliage.
Doctor Georges de Bellio acquired the painting from the artist on June 2, 1878. Great support from the Impressionists, he brought together a major collection of their works.
The search for provenance probably associates him with number 152 of the fourth impressionist exhibition. She has since appeared in several international presentations devoted to Monet.
