In the Garden of the Villa Bellevue (1880). Edouard Manet(French, 1832-1883). Oil on canvas. Sammlung E.G.Bührle.In the most impressive Impressionist manner, the portrayal of the house, foliage, and the figure reading a book appears in a glittering juxtaposition of fleeting brush strokes in which everything becomes pure color. Dark shadows are only possible in pure blue tones. The house walls, which should be shaded from the overhanging roof, appear to be illuminated from below. -- source link
