(Bologna 1648-1729)
Summer, part of the cycle Franceschini painted for the Prince of Carignano, strikes the chords of a bucolic, pastoral idyIlI. Three young women rest in the shade of lush trees, while two boys entertain them by playing the flute and tambourine. A group of children swim in the stream that marks the lower border of the painting. A small herd of nanny and billy goats is greeted by people serenely sharing the leisure and tranquillity.
