EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of St. Johns Day in 1938, as depicted by Julio Castellanos on canvas. The painting, measuring 40x48 cm, is a part of a private collection and showcases a scene filled with vibrant energy and leisurely indulgence. In this artwork, we see a group of individuals enjoying the holiday festivities in an open-air setting. Women are seen lounging by the swimming pool, basking under the warm sun while splashing and bathing to cool off from the summer heat. Some are standing near the diving board, ready to take a plunge into the refreshing water. The carefree atmosphere of midsummer is beautifully portrayed through these nudes who embrace their nakedness without inhibition or shame. It reflects both the freedom and relaxation that comes with summertime activities. Castellanos' painting transports us back to the 1930s when such scenes were common during this time of year. The artist's attention to detail brings out every nuance - from the expressions on each person's face to their body language - making it feel as though we are right there alongside them. This stunning piece serves as a reminder of how art can encapsulate moments in history and evoke emotions even decades later. It celebrates not only St. Johns Day but also captures an era where people found solace and joy in simple pleasures like sunbathing and swimming amidst nature's beauty.
