When Spring awakens painting

 

Artists don’t fear anything and represent all seasons. This being said, Spring is indeed the perfect season to paint: the weather isn’t too hot or cold, there is fertile nature, a galore of subjects…

One can see the proof with the absolute masterpiece of the History of art, Spring, painted by Sandro Botticelli between 1478 and 1482: ordered by Lorenzo, the Magnificent, the famous member of the Medici family, the painting is currently exhibited at the Uffizi Museum in Firenze, along with superb mythological silhouettes (of which Three Graces and Venus) in a neat decor, with a phantasmagorical forest where thousands of flowers and fruits blossom. Impossible to make something more beautiful! 
Unless one were to look at the impressionist painters, who relentlessly celebrated this beautiful season: in 1872, Claude Monet painted the image itself of peace with Spring, also known as The Reader, which shows a young woman sitting in grass, reading peacefully under a tree…The subject is extremely modern for her period and genuinely represents the impressionist mind, who is able to capture the happy textures of the moment. 
More recently, the contemporary painter David Hockney was bewitched during the lockdown in France, during Springtime in Normandy: he is fond of experiments, so he created paintings…on his iPad. Looks like Spring leads to all sort of fertile things! 

 

Artists like Spring too! They celebrate it through colorful, light works, which highlight beauty, landscapes, flower bouquets…So many visions which bewitch the look and once hung on the wall, rekindle the colors of a room and trigger joy and peace. In our galleries or our website, you can check out precious work from the painter Chico Souza, who has created very beautiful still life paintings but also landscapes filled with flowers or trees-where one would willingly take a nap! Or the one of Vitoria, a French artist, who paints seaside and lavender fields, flooded with light…
