ABOUT THIS PIECE Impressionist Painter Frank Weston Benson's Summer was created in 1890 and the painting is in Smithsonian American Art Museum Washington D.C. The original size of the work is 127,1 x 101,6 cm and is made of oil on canvas. Benson probably used his wife Ellen as the model for this statuesque woman, whose monumentality recalls the nymphs of Botticelli. Clad in flowing white and draped with a billowing shawl of pastel pinks, blues, yellows, and greens, this secular angel glides toward us through the breezy river landscape. Framed by trees and haloed by fluffy clouds, Summer reaches out with delicate fingers to grasp a blooming flower. In 1896 this grand canvas won the Shaw Fund Prize at the Society of American Artists exhibition. Critics, however, voiced mixed opinions of its merit. One writer observed she was not a goddess, but rather”simply a charming woman.” In his review of the exhibition, critic Royal Cortissoz mused, “there is no glamour of romance flung about her,” but nevertheless acknowledged, “it is a good picture.” The figure’s meditative expression creates a sense of melancholy at odds with a summer’s day, rendering the image enigmatic, decorative but unresolved. The Artist: Frank Weston Benson (1862 - 1951) was an American artist from Salem, Massachusetts known for his Realistic portraits, American Impressionist paintings, watercolors and etchings. He began his career painting portraits of distinguished families and murals for the Library of Congress.
