A Windmill on a Polder Waterway, Known as ‘In the Month of July, c.1889. Creator: Paul Joseph Constantin Gabriel
A Windmill on a Polder Waterway, Known as In the Month of July, c.1889. Our country is colourful, juicy, fat. (...) I repeat, our country is not dull, not even in dull weather, the dunes are not dull either, Constant Gabriel wrote in a letter. Unlike many artists of the Hague School, he preferred painting fine summer days. Here there are two: the grass, sky and windmill are all reflected in the water

In the Month of July,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating oil on canvas painting by Dutch artist Paul Joseph Constantin Gabriel, dates back to approximately 1889. This masterpiece showcases a quintessential scene of the Dutch countryside, with a windmill standing proudly in the foreground against a backdrop of a tranquil polder waterway. The title of the painting suggests the idyllic summer month, and Gabriel's vivid use of color and light brings the scene to life. Gabriel, a prominent figure in the Hague School movement, was known for his preference for painting fine summer days. In this artwork, the lush greenery of the grass, the brilliant blue sky, and the white windmill are all mirrored perfectly in the still water. The artist's brushstrokes are delicate and precise, capturing the essence of the Dutch rural landscape. In a letter, Gabriel wrote, "Our country is colourful, juicy, fat. I repeat, our country is not dull, not even in dull weather, the dunes are not dull either." This sentiment is evident in "In the Month of July," as even the dullest elements of the scene are imbued with vibrancy and life. The painting is a testament to the rich heritage of Dutch art and the beauty of the Netherlands' geography. This painting is a treasure of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a national museum dedicated to arts and history in the Netherlands. The scene is reminiscent of the low-lying polders, a geographical feature unique to the region, and a symbol of the country's rural life and rustic charm. The painting invites us to imagine a summer day spent in the Dutch countryside, with the gentle breeze rustling through the grass and the sound of the windmill's blades turning in the background.
