About the piece

Painted around 1910, Arthur Bowen Davies's 'Corridor of Summer' captures a moment of quiet, symbolic mystery. The work features several nude figures in a deep, tonalist landscape of dark trees and a glowing horizon, characteristic of the artist's unique blend of American Realism and European Symbolism.
