About the piece
Created in 1905, Edward Atkinson Hornel's 'Idyll in Spring' is a masterpiece of the Glasgow Boys' decorative style. The painting employs a rich, mosaic-like application of oil paint to depict two girls nestled in a field of primroses and blossoming trees. The textured surface and vibrant, light-filled palette create a dreamlike atmosphere that captures the essence of a serene spring day by the coast.
