Summer Night 1853

Henri-Charles-Antoine Baron's "Summer Night" (1853) is a lithograph depicting a group of figures enjoying a leisurely evening in a garden. The scene is framed by lush foliage and a towering statue, creating a sense of serenity and romanticism. Baron's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the figures, their clothing, and the surrounding landscape. The piece, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of the romantic artistic movement.
