Summer (L Ete), ca. 1735 - A Timeless Depiction of Joyful Harvest
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the idyllic countryside of eighteenth-century France. Created by Charles-Joseph Natoire, a renowned French artist, "Summer (L Ete)" beautifully captures the essence of the season with its depiction of agriculture and cherubic figures. The image portrays a group of angelic amorini or cherubs joyfully engaged in harvesting wheat. These naked child-like beings represent innocence and purity as they skillfully wield sickles to gather sheaves of golden wheat. Their playful presence adds an ethereal touch to the scene, evoking a sense of enchantment and wonder. Natoire's masterful etching technique brings out intricate details such as the texture of wheat stalks and the delicate features of each cherubim. The contrast between light and shadow enhances the overall composition, creating depth and dimension within this monochromatic artwork. This remarkable piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection showcases not only Natoire's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to humanity's timeless connection with nature. It reminds us that summer is not just a season for bountiful harvests but also a time for celebration, growth, and appreciation for life's simple pleasures. As we gaze upon this historic masterpiece, we are reminded that despite being created centuries ago, its beauty still resonates today – serving as an enduring reminder
