"Green Summer" (1868) by Edward Burne-Jones is a Pre-Raphaelite painting featuring seven women in a verdant forest setting. The women are depicted in a circular composition, their long flowing robes blending with the lush foliage. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and timeless beauty, characteristic of Burne-Jones's aesthetic. This painting is a quintessential example of the Pre-Raphaelite style, which emphasized realism, symbolism, and romanticism, and showcases Burne-Jones's mastery of color and detail.
