Summer c. 1712 - 1713

Ignatius van Logteren's "Summer" (c. 1712-1713) is a Baroque-style marble sculpture depicting a female figure draped in flowing robes, standing against a backdrop of lush foliage. The figure's posture and the gentle curve of her form evoke a sense of tranquility and grace. Logteren's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, highlighting the delicate details of the drapery and the figure's features. This sculpture, although weighing in at a hefty 335 kg, is a testament to the artistry of the Dutch Baroque period.
