This pretty garden picture by Olga Wisinger-Florian was painted during a trip to Monaco in spring 1906. The painter lived in Monte Carlo, where, in addition to regular visits to the casino, she also undertook painting excursions to surrounding areas. As a motif, she was particularly fond of the terraced park of the nearby Riviera Palace Hotel. She wrote in her diary: “After dinner we went to the Riviera Palace, where it’s lovely; I try to paint there as much as I possibly can.” (Olga Wisinger-Florian, diary entry, 5 March 1906) In the following weeks she visited the hotel repeatedly and finished several studies of the gardens, most of which, like this one, show the walkway on the hillside, surrounded on both sides by lush vegetation: “After lunch, bright sun, very beautiful, started Riviera Palace picture, done middle path on the right and palm trees on the right. Had tea upstairs, very nice casino in the evening.” (Olga Wisinger-Florian, diary entry, 17 March 1906).
In this sunny picture, Wisinger-Florian succeeds in capturing the play of light and shadow with rapid brushstrokes. As can be seen from the intense colours and the sketchy lines, this is one of the painter’s more mature pieces of work, which is clearly different from her earlier very precise floral still lifes. It is precisely this spontaneous painting style that gives the picture its special charm and brings the warm afternoon on the Riviera back to life before the eyes of the viewer.
