The artwork titled “Spring” was created by Paul Delvaux in 1961. This painting is part of the Surrealism art movement and is categorized under the genre of cityscape.
“Spring” exhibits a dreamlike, almost eerie atmosphere typical of surrealist works. The scene depicts a city street under a twilight or dawn sky, with a distant industrial backdrop characterized by smoke rising from factory chimneys. On the street are several nude female figures, one of whom lounges on a bed in the foreground, looking contemplative or relaxed. The street is lined with buildings featuring European architectural styles, and the trees and foliage suggest a springtime setting. The stark, almost deserted, urban environment combined with the surreal presence of the nude figures creates an intriguing juxtaposition, inviting viewers into a world that is both familiar and curiously otherworldly.
