More about this artwork
"Summer (1914)" by Frederick Carl Frieseke is a captivating painting that explores the beauty and intimacy of a sun-drenched summer day. This piece features two women in a serene, natural setting, enveloped by the lively dapples of sunlight that filter through the rich foliage overhead. One woman is depicted lying on her back, enjoying the warmth of the sun on her bare skin, her posture relaxed and her face tilted towards the light, evoking a sense of peaceful contemplation. The other woman, seated beside her, is partially draped in a light garment, which she adjusts gently, adding a dynamic element to the otherwise tranquil scene.The use of light and color in this painting is masterful; Frieseke employs impressionistic techniques to render the shimmering effects of sunlight on the varied textures around the figures. The flickering leaves and fragmented, vibrant backdrop suggest the fleeting moments of a summer day. The brushwork is loose and expressive, contributing to the overall sensory experience of warmth, light, and quiet joy.
