EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of Francisco de Goya's masterpiece, The Threshing Ground or Summer, painted in 1786. The detail and vibrancy of this image transport us back to a simpler time in rural Spain, where farmers worked tirelessly under the hot summer sun.
In this scene, we see a group of peasants taking a break from their laborious tasks in the wheat fields. A farmer leans on his fork while chatting with his fellow workers, as a horse grazes peacefully nearby. Children play joyfully in the open air, embodying the carefree spirit of youth.
Goya's painting is known for its depiction of everyday life in 18th century Spain, capturing both the hardships and moments of happiness experienced by peasants during that era. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, creating a sense of realism that is truly captivating.
As we gaze upon this print from Prisma Archivo Fotografico, we are reminded of the importance of cherishing simple pleasures and finding joy in our surroundings. The Threshing Ground or Summer serves as a timeless reminder that happiness can be found even amidst hard work and struggle.
