EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Summer, c. 1760" showcases an exquisite oil on canvas painting by the English School from the 18th century. Measuring at 90.8x71.1 cm, this masterpiece is housed in The Holburne Museum located in Bath, UK. The image portrays a bare and gazing female figure adorned with a crown of abundance, symbolizing her bountiful nature. Wheat ears are prominently featured as a symbolic representation of harvest and prosperity, while an apple signifies fertility and abundance. In this allegorical depiction of summer, Cupid hovers nearby as an embodiment of love and passion amidst the lush outdoors. The woman's exposed breasts further emphasize her personification of summer's warmth and sensuality. Nude except for a sheaf of wheat delicately held against her body, the woman stands confidently amidst golden crops that stretch towards the horizon under bright sunshine. Her nakedness serves as a reminder of nature's raw beauty and vulnerability. This painting captures the essence of summer through its rich symbolism and masterful execution. It invites viewers to reflect upon the cyclical nature of life, celebrating both physical abundance and spiritual growth that come with each passing season.
