This sunny park view is one of the largest canvases Vincent van Gogh ever produced in Paris. Inspired by the dots used by Pointillists, Van Gogh instead employed loose little paint stripes. He applied the paint in different directions and thicknesses, whereby each element—the air, vegetation and the figures—acquires its own particular texture. This helped him to create the effect of a radiant spring day, which fit the sense of intimacy and togetherness he wished to express.

　Van Gogh himself called this work 'The garden with lovers'.

　Van Gogh called this sunny park scene 'the painting of the garden with lovers'. Couples in love are strolling under the young chestnut trees and sitting along the winding paths.
　He used a free variation on the technique of the Pointillists. They built up their compositions from dots of paint. Van Gogh instead applied small brushstrokes of varying length in different directions. This helped him to create the effect of a radiant spring day, which fit the sense of intimacy and togetherness he wished to express. He too longed for a wife and a family, but he had 'the most impossible love affairs'. He eventually resigned himself to the situation; he was devoted to his art.
