"Summer" (Finnish: "Kesä") is a renowned painting by Finnish artist Gunnar Fredrik Berndtson (1854–1895), created in 1885. The artwork is a quintessential example of Berndtson's finesse in portraying light and atmosphere, which is characteristic of his mature period. The painting depicts a serene summer scene that captures the essence of the Finnish landscape during the season.

In "Summer," Berndtson's use of vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail reflects the influence of the plein air painting technique, which was popular among contemporary artists of his time. The composition showcases a group of people leisurely enjoying the warmth and tranquility of a summer day, possibly in the Finnish countryside. The figures are often seen engaging in typical summer activities, such as picnicking, boating, or simply relaxing in the natural surroundings.

Berndtson's work is celebrated for its ability to evoke the sensory experiences of summer, from the warmth of the sunlight to the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze. His masterful blending of naturalism with a touch of romantic idealization creates an idyllic, almost timeless atmosphere, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the peacefulness of the scene.

"Summer" holds a significant place in the canon of Finnish art, as it exemplifies the national romantic movement that sought to capture the unique spirit and beauty of Finland's landscapes and people. The painting is also a testament to Berndtson's artistic legacy, as he was one of the most prominent Finnish artists of the late 19th century, having studied in Paris and St. Petersburg before returning to his homeland to contribute to the Finnish art scene.

Today, "Summer" is considered an important cultural artifact that not only showcases Berndtson's technical skill but also offers insight into the Finnish national identity during a pivotal period of the country's cultural development. The painting is preserved and displayed in a notable Finnish art museum, where it continues to be admired by art enthusiasts and the general public alike.
