EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of summer in all its glory. The image showcases a stunning marble statue nestled amidst the lush gardens of Sceaux, France. Standing tall and elegant, this female figure personifies the bountiful season with her symbolic attributes. The statue is adorned with corn and wheat, representing the abundance of nature during summertime. In one hand, she holds a sickle, symbolizing harvest and fertility. This depiction pays homage to Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and grain crops. Taken by an anonymous French School photographer in the 18th century, this timeless print exudes a sense of tranquility and serenity. The monochromatic tones add depth to every intricate detail captured by Giraudon's lens in 1920. Displayed against a backdrop of meticulously manicured gardens, this photograph transports viewers to a place where time seems to stand still. It invites us to appreciate nature's beauty while reflecting on our connection with it. Preserved by Bridgeman Images for public enjoyment today, this artwork serves as a reminder that art has no expiration date when it comes to inspiring emotions and sparking contemplation about our relationship with both history and nature itself.
