A Literary Escape: Readers Lost in an Orange Grove Magnet

"Les Orangers" (The Orange Trees), by Gustave Caillebotte, offers a glimpse into a sun-dappled garden. In the foreground, Caillebotte's brother relaxes in the shade of the orange trees, while a vibrant flowerbed and a peaceful path bathed in sunlight stretch out in the background. The scene contrasts the coolness of the shaded foreground with the warmth and light of the open garden. The style is impressionistic, with loose brushstrokes and vibrant colours.
