L'ete (Summer) Framed Canvas Replica Painting: Small

By artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905), in a Private Collection

The change of seasons as an allegorical representation for the ages of life, is represented by alluring youth and femininity crowned with a garland and bearing the ripe fruits of life. With a hint of awaking sexuality while in the summer of her life, she is painted soft pastel shades, romantically and idealistically. French artist Bouguereau was considered an Academic and traditionalist with modern interpretations of classical and mythological subjects. As a teacher, frescoesist and draftsman Bouguereau opened art to women and held coed classes. Popular with Victorian patrons in France and the United States, few could match Bouguereau's realistic figures touched with idealism. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. Our replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
