Summer 1893

Emile Claus's *Summer* (1893) is a captivating portrayal of a rural scene bathed in the golden light of summer. The artist's characteristic pointillist style, evident in the dabs of color that create the image, adds a sense of vibrancy and texture to the landscape. A lone figure stands in the field, tending to a cow, adding a touch of human presence to the otherwise tranquil scene. This painting exemplifies Claus's mastery of depicting the beauty and serenity of the natural world.
