The artwork titled “The Secret Garden,” created in 1912 by Charles Robinson, is an illustration belonging to the Art Nouveau movement, also referred to as Modern art. It is part of a series of illustrations for the book “The Secret Garden” by Frances Hodgson Burnett, also published in 1912.
The artwork presents a whimsical, enchanting scene featuring three young children immersed in a lush, blooming garden. The delicate lines and soft, muted color palette typical of Art Nouveau style evoke a sense of innocence and wonder. Flowers and plants, rendered with intricate detail, surround the children, adding a magical, almost fairytale-like quality to the composition. The flowing lines and organic forms seamlessly blend the figures with their natural surroundings, creating a harmonious, dreamlike atmosphere.
