EDITORS COMMENTS
Summer Joys on the River" is a captivating pastel on cardboard painting by the renowned French artist Antoine Calbet (1860-1944). This exquisite work of art captures the essence of summertime bliss as it depicts a group of young women and their friends enjoying a sunny day by the river. The painting is set at noon, when the sun casts a warm, golden light over the scene, bathing the figures in a soft, inviting glow. The women are seen lounging on the riverbank, their nude bodies glistening with sun tanning oil, as they soak up the sun's rays. One woman lies on her back, her arms outstretched, while another sits up, her head tilted back in pure joy. A third woman plays in the water, her laughter ringing out across the tranquil bay. The painting captures the carefree spirit of summer, with the women seemingly untouched by the passing of time. The seashore is dotted with colorful beach towels and sun hats, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The bay is calm and still, reflecting the clear blue sky above, while the sun casts dappled shadows over the sand. Calbet's use of pastel techniques brings the scene to life, with the delicate brushstrokes capturing the texture of the sand and the shimmering water. The artist's mastery of light and color creates a sense of timelessness, transporting the viewer to a place of relaxation and joy. This painting is a testament to the simple pleasures of summertime, and a reminder to take time to appreciate the beauty of nature and the company of friends. "Summer Joys on the River" is a treasured work of art that continues to inspire and delight viewers, and a reminder of the enduring appeal of the summer season.
