EDITORS COMMENTS
Gathering Mistletoe, 1886 Artist: Frederick McCubbin (1855-1917) This evocative painting by Australian impressionist Frederick McCubbin, titled "Gathering Mistletoe," dates back to 1886. The scene transports us to a serene and picturesque American landscape, where a group of women, dressed in their finest, have gathered on a hillside to collect mistletoe berries. The distant view of the rolling hills and the assorted Australian bush creates a sense of vastness and tranquility. The women, with their backs to the viewer, are engrossed in their task, their heads bent low as they pick the ripe berries from the trees. Their vibrant, flowing dresses, in contrast to the earthy tones of the landscape, add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene. The soft, impressionistic brushstrokes used by McCubbin capture the gentle play of light and shadow on the women's faces, creating an intimate and almost dreamlike atmosphere. The painting is a testament to the beauty of nature and the simple pleasures of rural life. The mistletoe berries, considered a symbol of love and fertility, add an air of romance to the scene, making it a popular choice for collectors and art enthusiasts alike. This fine art print is a must-have for those who appreciate the impressionist style and the beauty of the natural world.
