Summer afternoon in the mountains (1930)

We are pleased to present "Summer Afternoon in the Mountains" (1930), a vibrant artwork by Zolo Palugyay, which skillfully captures the essence of a lush mountainous landscape on a warm summer day. This painting is characterized by its bold use of color and dynamic brushwork, which together create a spirited and almost abstract representation of nature.In the foreground, the painting features an array of vividly colored vegetation; the bold reds, yellows, and greens evoke the richness of summer flora. These bright, organic forms appear to undulate, suggesting the gentle movement of leaves and flowers in a light breeze. A winding path, hinted at by lighter tones, invites the viewer's eye to meander through the verdant landscape.The middle ground is dominated by broad, leafy shapes in varying shades of green, possibly depicting hills or large bushes, which add depth to the scene. The background displays a series of soft, muted blue and green mountain peaks that fade into a deep blue sky, conveying the hazy atmosphere typical of a hot summer day.Zolo Palugyay's impressionistic approach allows viewers to experience the warmth, colors, and tranquility of a summer afternoon in the mountains, making this piece a captivating homage to the beauty of the natural world.
