About the piece
Painted in 1876 by the Swiss master Arnold Böcklin, this work captures the lyrical spirit of the season. Three figures are depicted on a grassy bank beside a stream: one plays a lute, another sings with an outstretched arm, and the third gazes upward in a moment of rapture. The realistic treatment of the muddy fields and expansive sky provides a grounding backdrop to the poetic, musical subject.
