Spring, ca. 1720-36. Creator: Jean-Baptiste Pater (French, 1695-1736)
Spring, ca. 1720-36. Spring and Summer are two scenes from a four-season series. These landscapes were originally a part of a screen or a decorative panel, indicated by their floral borders and oval shape. The setting of Spring is believed to be the grounds of Montmorency, the country estate of Pierre Crozat (1665-1740), a wealthy financier and art collector in early eighteenth-century Paris. Summer counters Springs aristocratic leisure by depicting rural labor. Befitting the works decorative origins, however, Paters scene belongs to the tradition of the timeless pastoral. More idyllic than a statement about class differences, the reapers peacefully gather sheaves of wheat as shepherds rest with their flocks in the foreground

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean-Baptiste Pater's masterpiece, "Spring" created between 1720 and 1736. Part of a four-season series, this artwork originally adorned a screen or decorative panel, evident from its floral borders and oval shape. The serene setting of Spring is believed to be the picturesque grounds of Montmorency, Pierre Crozat's country estate in early eighteenth-century Paris. Contrasting Spring's aristocratic leisure, Summer portrays rural labor. However, Pater's scene remains rooted in the timeless pastoral tradition rather than making a statement about class differences. In this idyllic landscape, reapers peacefully gather sheaves of wheat while shepherds rest with their flocks in the foreground. The oil on canvas painting by Jean-Baptiste Pater captures the essence of French heritage art during the 18th century. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art (not affiliated with any commercial use), this print preserves every intricate detail for admirers to appreciate. Heritage Images presents this remarkable piece as part of their collection without mentioning any company affiliation or commercial use intentions. With its vibrant colors and exquisite composition, this print allows viewers to immerse themselves in Pater's vision and experience the beauty and tranquility that Spring brings forth from centuries past.
