A Garden in Montmartre is a 1898 oil by Auguste Renoir, a Impressionism work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows a garden in Montmartre. The scene is set in a lush green space with trees and bushes. In the foreground, a group of people are gathered, some standing and others sitting on benches. The atmosphere appears relaxed and casual, with the individuals engaged in conversation or simply enjoying the surroundings. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the vibrancy of the garden, from the deep greens of the foliage to the softer hues of the clothing worn by the people. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, adding to the sense of movement and energy in the scene.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born on 25 February 1841 in Limoges, the son of a tailor and a seamstress.
