Spring is a 1742 oil by Johann Georg Platzer, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a lively outdoor scene. A woman in a white dress with pink underskirts is dancing with a man in a brown outfit. They are surrounded by other people, some of whom are playing instruments or watching the dance. The background is filled with trees, flowers, and stone structures. A notable detail is the use of color and light to create a sense of joy and movement. The woman's dress and the flowers around her are particularly vibrant, drawing the viewer's eye to the center of the scene. To learn more about the artistic techniques used in this painting, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
