The artwork “Green Summer,” created by Edward Burne-Jones in 1868, is a genre painting that embodies the Romanticism art movement. This piece, rendered with oil on canvas, measures 64.7 x 106.1 cm and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene, idyllic scene where a group of women dressed in flowing garments are seated on a grassy landscape, surrounded by lush greenery. The foliage in the background creates a sense of depth, while the soft, muted color palette evokes a tranquil, pastoral atmosphere. Each figure appears to be engaged in contemplation or quiet conversation, contributing to the overall sense of harmony and introspection characteristic of Burne-Jones’s romantic style.
