More about this artwork
"Summer" (1940) by Cyprián Majerník captures a tranquil pastoral scene expressive of the warmth and vibrancy of the summer season. This rich depiction shows a group of cattle at a watering hole, likely a moment of respite in their day. The animals are rendered in earthy tones that harmonize with the landscape, underscoring a natural and calming environment.In the background, a rolling hill painted with broad, sweeping brushstrokes in varying shades of green and brown stretches across the horizon, suggesting the vastness of the rural setting. One person, dressed lightly for the season, stands amongst the cattle, depicted in a relaxed posture that conveys a sense of ease and familiarity with the animals.Majerník’s style here is loose and impressionistic, using visible and dynamic strokes that give the painting a sense of movement and immediacy. The reflections in the water and the lively sky further enhance the transient light of a summer day. This scene invites viewers to feel the gentle warmth of the season and the serene pace of life away from the urban bustle."Summer" not only offers a glimpse into rural life but also manifests Majerník's skill in capturing mood and atmosphere through color and composition.
