“She created a new world of beauty through her closeness to nature
and in the harmony she felt existed between man and nature.”  Critic

Melodrama often employs some form of comic relief, usually through a minor character.  The action progresses at the whim of the villain, and the hero is forced to endure episode after episode of superhuman trial.  Suspense is imperative and reversal at the end obligatory. 

This painting is about a bee that turns into a flower, having consumed too much nectar.  The bee is the villain, the hero and the comic.
