EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating painting from circa 1916, showcases a serene and idyllic scene of women enjoying a leisurely moment by the edge of a tranquil lake. The title, which translates to "The Happy Island," perfectly encapsulates the carefree and joyful atmosphere that permeates the image. The painting depicts a number of women reclined on the grass, engaged in the simple pleasures of eating and drinking. The warm, inviting colors of their clothing and the lush greenery surrounding them add to the overall sense of contentment and relaxation. But the scene is not without intrigue. A faun, with his mischievous expression and nimble form, sneaks behind a large statue, adding an element of surprise and whimsy to the composition. The women seem oblivious to his presence, engrossed in their own world of happiness. One woman, however, breaks the tranquility as she stands up to welcome the arrival of more figures in row boats. The anticipation and excitement on her face is palpable, as she eagerly awaits the company of her friends. This enchanting painting, which can be found in the November volume of Paul Albert Besnard's "March of the Women" collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the power of friendship, joy, and the simple pleasures of life. The painting's timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers and transport them to a world of happiness and serenity.
