A rowan tree in art

The picture 'Jarzębina' was made by a priest, Marian Malarz, who was born in 1922 in Poland. The artist started painting in 1952. His passion is painting all types of flowers. He painted a lot of paintings showing flowers and one of them is this beautiful painting 'Jarzębina'. It was painted with oil paints and it shows bouquet of rowanberries. The colour of this work are gorgeous. These various and vivid colours make that smile appear on people's faces. The background is soft, muted, rather in dark colours. Applying those colours was a painter's goal to get observer’s attention focused on the main part of the painting – the bouquet of rowanberries. The author wanted to show us that living around flowers can be really amazing.

The painting 'Kobieta na tle gaju z jarzębiną' was painted

by Jacek Malczewski in 1917 in Poland. Its dimension are: 31,7 x 54,5. It was painted with oil paints on cardboard. It shows a mature, dreamy look woman who is having a rest in a grove overcrowded with rowan. She is savouring this beautiful place and the scent of the surroundings. She is wearing a modest white and blue dress. There is quite a big watch on her hand, which attracts our attention. She has a pleasant and calm look on her face and her hair is pinned up. She seems to be happy. The painting colours are subdued and calm but expressive. The painter perfectly presented that beautiful woman's feelings.
