Bathing Decadence Hans Makart Harem Lying Lying Down Opulence Opulent Pool Reclining Recumbent Young Girl Languid Nakedness

EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating black and white print after Hans Makart's original painting created around 1880-83, showcases an idyllic scene of leisure and decadence. The image, produced by W. Unger for "Modern Artists" by F.G. Dumas, published by J.S. Virtue & Co Ltd in London, invites viewers to bask in the opulence of a sun-soaked day. At the center of the composition lies a young woman, her languid form reclining on a sumptuous daybed, her eyes closed in blissful repose. She is surrounded by a bevy of young girls, their playful laughter echoing through the air as they splash and frolic in the crystal-clear pool. The scene is one of pure enjoyment, a celebration of the season's warmth and vitality. The background is filled with a bustling crowd of people, their dark silhouettes providing a striking contrast to the white and black figures at the forefront. The harem-like setting, with its ornate decor and lush foliage, exudes an air of luxury and indulgence. The print's allegorical representation of summer as a time of relaxation and pleasure is brought to life through Unger's skillful interpretation of Makart's original work. The use of black and white adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting viewers back to a bygone era of elegance and refinement. "Summer" is a testament to the enduring allure of art and the power of the human spirit to find joy and beauty in the simplest of pleasures. This print is a must-have for any serious art collector, a treasure to be cherished for generations to come.
