If you take away "so" and "such" from the sentence, the meaning will change to simply stating that the father stood at the gate of his garden.

The phrases with "such" indicate a high degree or extreme nature of the father's mercy and kindness. The article "the" is used in one of them to indicate a specific instance or example of the father's actions.

There will be an article if you call two pictures evocative depending on the context. If you are referring to specific pictures that are evocative, then the article "the" would be used. If you are making a general statement about any two pictures being evocative, the article may not be necessary.
