e child. The scene isdepicted from the level of the little girls ownvision, so that her outlook on nature issuggested. Thus the garden becomes the worldseen through her eyes, narrow and circumscribed.By accepting her scale of observation,Renoir evokes, in an almost unique way,memories of childhood. This mood,this remembrance of things past, isintensified by the pleasure of the painterin his subject, by the spontaneity and gaiety ofhis treatment of the scene. Renoir incanvases like this seems almost a paganFra Angelico. I arrange my subject as I wantit, he once said, and then I go ahead andpaint it like a child. He loved bright colors,joyous and pretty human beings,and nature drenched in sunshine. He was thelast great painter to be moved to lyricalecstasy by the beauty of the everyday world, thelast great painter to catch on his canvas A strain of the earths sweet beingin the beginning . . . Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy.—JOHN WALKER, Chief Curator, National Gallery of Art
