Spring (1885)

Childe Hassam (American, 1859–1935)

Sunlight dapples through fresh leaves, casting pale green shadows on the path below. A breeze stirs the branches—you can almost hear them rustle. The air smells like damp earth and new growth. This isn’t just spring; it’s the exact moment winter loosens its grip.
A Red Deer in Winter (1886)

Arthur Thiele (German, 1841–1919)

A lone stag stands in the snow-laden forest, breath steaming in the cold air. Its russet coat contrasts sharply with the white drifts, antlers stark against the muted winter trees. The quiet crunch of hooves on frost seems almost audible in the hush of the scene.
Mädchen im Garten einer Villa (1900)

Julius Victor Berger (German, unknown)

A girl stands in dappled sunlight, the villa’s garden alive around her—loose brushstrokes blur flowers into whispers of color. Her dress catches the breeze, half-turned as if she might step out of the frame.
Wild flowers (1890 – 1900)

Jan Ciągliński (Polish, 1858–1913)

A tangle of wildflowers bursts across the canvas, their petals catching light like scattered sparks. The brushstrokes hum with movement—grasses sway, blooms tilt, as if a breeze just passed through. No careful garden here; this is nature untamed, alive.
Sous Les Tonnelles

Louis Icart (French, 1880–1950)

A woman in 1920s fashion lounges beneath flowering vines, her dress catching dappled sunlight. The garden hums with quiet luxury, her poised silhouette framed by delicate leaves. Every fold of fabric, every shadow hints at an afternoon suspended in effortless grace.
Nude in a Garden

William Henry Kemble Yarrow (American, unknown)

Sunlight dapples across bare skin, blending flesh with foliage. A figure lounges among tangled greenery, limbs relaxed yet charged with quiet energy. The garden breathes around them—alive, untamed. Leaves whisper against skin, blurring the line between body and earth. No adornments, no pretenses—just raw, verdant existence.
Under the orange tree

Virginie Demont-Breton (French, 1859–1935)

A woman sits beneath the gnarled branches of an orange tree, sunlight dappling her dress. The fruit hangs heavy, their scent mingling with warm earth. She leans slightly, as if listening to the leaves whisper—a quiet moment suspended between shade and gold.
White Garden

Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones (English, 1833–1898)

A pale garden unfolds, where myth lingers among the blossoms. Figures move with quiet purpose, their robes brushing against white flowers. The air hums with unspoken stories, woven into the petals and the soft turn of a wrist. Something ancient stirs beneath the delicate surface.
Summer (1914)

Frederick Carl Frieseke (American, 1874–1939)

Sunlight dapples through the leaves, casting patterns on her white dress. She sits in the garden, lost in thought, a book forgotten in her lap. The air hums with warmth, the colors soft yet vibrant—greens melting into pinks, blues fading into yellows. A quiet, fleeting moment of summer.
