About the piece
Painted in 1903 by Józef Mehoffer, 'Strange Garden' is a definitive work of the Young Poland movement. The painting captures a moment of domestic bliss featuring the artist's wife and son in a radiant, sun-drenched orchard draped with floral garlands. The idyllic scene is famously interrupted by a giant, ornamental dragonfly—a symbolist element that introduces an air of mystical wonder and dreamlike mystery to the composition.
