More about this artwork

Eugène Grasset's enchanting work "Août" from the late 19th century is a beautiful portrayal of the month of August, infused with Art Nouveau styling which flourished during the artist's era. This intricate piece, created between 1896-1898, eloquently captures the harmony of nature and human interaction, characteristic of Grasset’s oeuvre.In the painting, a winged figure, reminiscent of a gentle breeze, wanders through a flourishing garden. She is depicted amidst towering sunflowers that seem to watch over the scene with their large, radiant faces. The figure, with her delicate, fairy-like wings and flowing garment, holds a basket that suggests a harvest, tying her gracefully to the abundance of August.In the foreground, a thoughtfully detailed pond enriches the scene with water lilies in blossom, which mirror the round, open faces of the sunflowers. The lily pads and blossoming water flowers in the pond enhance the sense of seasonal growth and the cyclical nature of life.The border stylization and the circular motif marking the name "Août" add a structured, ornamental frame to the lush, organic forms of the composition, illustrating Grasset's masterful ability to blend graphic elements with naturalistic themes.
