Spring Archives

Printemps (before 1892)

Etienne Adolphe Piot (French, 1850–1910)

A young woman cradles a bouquet of fresh blooms, her gaze soft and distant. Delicate petals spill over her hands, their vibrant hues contrasting with the muted folds of her dress. Spring lingers in the air, caught between her fingers and the quiet turn of her thoughts.
Printemps Rose (1908)

Henri-Edmond Cross (French, 1856–1910)

Pink light spills through budding branches, softening the landscape into a dream. Spring air hums with warmth, blurring the line between earth and sky. Every brushstroke pulses with life, as if the scene might dissolve into pure color at any moment.
Early Spring—Bluebonnets and Mesquite (1919)

Julian Onderdonk (American, 1882–1922)

A sea of bluebonnets spills across the Texas plains, their violet haze broken by the gnarled forms of mesquite trees. Sunlight filters through thin branches, dappling the wildflowers below. The air hums with the quiet energy of spring—warm earth, new growth, open space stretching beyond the frame.
Interior, Light Of Spring

Carl Holsøe (Danish, unknown)

Sunlight spills across the wooden floor, pooling around a chair left slightly askew. A vase of fresh blooms sits on the table, their petals catching the glow. The room holds its breath, suspended in the quiet warmth of a spring morning. Shadows stretch lazily, marking time’s slow passage.
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.
Jeanne (Spring) (1881)

Édouard Manet (French, 1832–1883)

A young woman in a pale dress stands against lush greenery, her parasol tilted just so. The play of light on fabric and leaves feels fleeting, like a breath held between seasons. Her gaze lingers somewhere beyond the frame, hinting at thoughts left unspoken.
Almond tree in blossom

Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890)

Branches burst with delicate white blossoms against a sky of swirling blue. Each petal seems to tremble with life, the tree’s gnarled limbs softened by spring’s touch. Light dances through the flowers, a fleeting celebration of renewal.
Song of Spring (1880s)

Francis Donkin Bedford (English, 1864–1954)

A girl stands in a sunlit meadow, her lips parted in song. Wildflowers sway around her, their colors bright against the fresh green grass. The air hums with the quiet joy of spring, as if the earth itself is joining her melody.
Field Of Blossoms (1927)

William Henry Holmes (American, 1846–1933)

A sea of wildflowers stretches under open sky, petals trembling in the breeze. The colors blur where earth meets horizon—no path, no fence, just this unchecked bloom. You can almost hear stems rustling, smell the damp green beneath the blossoms. Spring here feels endless.
