It is amazing how you cat get lost in Henri Martin's 'Les Amoureux Du Printemps' (The Lovers of the Spring). Study the painting for a few moments, it is a great way to relax and to drift away to the French country side at the end of the 19th century. You will almost be able to smell the grass and sense the filtered sunshine on your face.

'While pursuing the various effects of light, I was enticed to paint in a different way to give out the atmosphere. The full glittering and diffuse light forced me to give it out as I could, by a sort of pointillism which, it seems to me, represents rather well the dazzling of light'. Henri Martin.
