"Le Printemps" is a mural painting by the American artist Edward Emerson Simmons, created in 1896. This work is one of Simmons' most notable contributions to the American mural movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The title, which translates to "The Spring" from French, reflects the theme of rebirth and renewal that is often associated with the season of spring.

The mural was commissioned as part of a series of works for the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., where Simmons was one of several prominent artists selected to adorn the walls and ceilings with allegorical representations of human knowledge and the seasons. "Le Printemps" is situated in the Southwest Pavilion of the Thomas Jefferson Building, one of the most elaborately decorated public buildings of its time.

In "Le Printemps," Simmons employs a soft, impressionistic style to capture the essence of spring, using a palette of pastel colors that evoke the gentle warmth and blooming nature of the season. The composition typically features figures that are emblematic of youth and vitality, possibly including mythological or symbolic references that were common in neoclassical mural art.

Simmons' work on the Library of Congress murals, including "Le Printemps," contributed to his reputation as a master of American mural painting. His approach to the medium was characterized by a blend of European techniques and a distinctly American sensibility, which helped to define the visual language of the country's civic and cultural institutions at the turn of the century.

"Le Printemps" is not only a significant piece of Simmons' artistic legacy but also an important example of the role of mural art in shaping the public spaces of the United States during a period of rapid cultural development. The work is preserved as part of the national heritage and continues to be accessible to the public as a testament to the enduring value of art in public life.
