At Sunnyside – Where Truth and Beauty Meet

Léon-Augustin Lhermitte: The Little Goose Girl of Mézy

The Little Goose Girl of Mézy is Léon Lhermitte’s most important single-figure painting, a work that forthrightly declares its modernity in the directness of the young goose girl’s interaction with the viewer and in the slashing knife and brushwork that so tangibly conveys the stubbled grain field on which she stands…With her small bundle of…

Monet frequently painted outdoors, drawing endless inspiration from the plants, trees, and pond at Giverny. The gardens on his property were the great extravagance of his final years; their upkeep required the services of six full-time gardeners.

The diagonal…
