Summer 1770 - 1780

"Summer", a relief sculpture created by François Joseph Belanger between 1770 and 1780, is a beautiful example of Rococo art. The work features a central, ornate vase surrounded by stylized wheat stalks and other floral motifs. The intricate details and gilded surfaces of the sculpture contribute to its sense of opulence, characteristic of the Rococo period. The work is currently located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
