Framed Garden Bench Art

The benches we see today in parks and green spaces are rather simple pieces of furniture, aimed at supporting the weight of citizens while surviving the elements. Back in the day, they also served a decorative purpose and were garnished with symbols and motifs that made them a pleasure to admire. These are the kind of benches celebrated by artists in their paintings and some great examples can be found when browsing the Framed Garden Bench Art.

Edouart Manet spent a lot of time painting the outdoors and parks have always exercised a special fascination on the artist. The Bench from the Garden of Versailles is one of his best works and it can be found among the Framed Garden Bench Art. Equally impressive is Vincent van Gogh’s Bench at St. Remy created in 1889 or the one featuring in Camille Pissaro’s Corner of a Garden at the Hermitage. Modern artists painting the outdoors frequently incorporate benches into their art prints, so the options are numerous for those trying to set up a collection.
