Summer, 1623
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning oil on paper painting by the renowned Flemish Baroque artist, Jacob Jordaens (1593-1678). This masterpiece is currently housed in the prestigious Muzeul National Brukenthal in Sibiu, Romania. Jordaens' "Summer" is an exquisite example of the allegorical and literary themes prevalent in Baroque art. The painting depicts the personification of the season of Summer, represented as a voluptuous woman clad in flowing robes, adorned with golden accessories, and holding a cornucopia, symbolizing abundance and fertility. The background of the painting is a lush, verdant landscape teeming with life. A river flows gently through the scene, reflecting the clear blue sky dotted with fluffy clouds. In the foreground, a group of peasants engage in various summertime activities, such as harvesting grapes, fishing, and playing musical instruments. Jordaens' masterful use of color and light creates a sense of warmth and vitality, perfectly capturing the essence of the season. The artist's brushstrokes are bold and confident, bringing the figures and landscape to life with remarkable detail and texture. The painting's mythological and literary influences are evident in the depiction of Summer as a goddess-like figure, and the inclusion of various symbols and motifs drawn from ancient mythology and folklore. The overall effect is one of grandeur and celebration, inviting the viewer to revel in the beauty and bounty of the summer season. "Summer, 1623" is a testament to Jordaens' artistic skill and vision, and a true masterpiece of the Baroque era. Its presence in the Muzeul National Brukenthal is a source of great pride for the people of Sibiu and a must-see attraction for art lovers from around the world.
