A Hot Summer's Afternoon - A Herd of Cattle Seeks Refuge in the Kolige Lake, 1846
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite oil painting by the Danish artist Jorgen Sonne, capturing the idyllic and serene atmosphere of a summer's day in the countryside. The scene is set in the picturesque Kolige lake in Uppsala County, Sweden, where a herd of cows has gathered to quench their thirst and escape the heat of the afternoon sun. The painting is an excellent example of the Expressionist artistic style prevalent in the 19th century, characterized by its bold use of color and emotional intensity. The painting portrays a peaceful and harmonious scene, with the cows huddled together at the water's edge, their forms reflected in the tranquil blue waters. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the landscape, and the sky is a brilliant expanse of blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds. The lush green foliage and the gentle ripples on the water add to the sense of calm and relaxation. Jorgen Sonne's masterful use of oil on canvas technique brings the scene to life, with the intricate details of the cows' textured coats and the reflections on the water creating a sense of depth and dimension. The painting is a testament to the beauty and simplicity of rural life and the natural world, and it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. This painting is a national treasure, housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark), and it is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Danish art or the Expressionist movement. The painting's serene beauty and emotional depth make it a beloved masterpiece that continues to inspire and delight viewers to this day.
