"La plaine en été" (The Plain in Summer) is a painting by French artist Paul-Elie Ranson, a notable member of the Nabis, a group of Post-Impressionist avant-garde artists who set the pace for fine arts and graphic arts in France in the 1890s. Ranson's work is characterized by its symbolic content, stylized forms, and the use of bold colors, which were hallmarks of the Nabis' aesthetic principles, influenced by Paul Gauguin and Japanese woodblock prints.

Completed in 1899, "La plaine en été" is a testament to Ranson's exploration of the synthesis between the subject and the landscape, a concept that was central to the Nabis' philosophy. The painting depicts a rural landscape during the summertime, possibly inspired by the countryside of Brittany or Normandy, where Ranson often spent his summers. The composition is marked by a flatness of form and a decorative quality that seeks to transcend the mere imitation of nature.

The use of color in "La plaine en été" is particularly noteworthy, with Ranson employing a palette that includes vibrant greens, yellows, and blues to evoke the warmth and vitality of the summer season. The painting's surface is treated with a cloisonnist technique, where bold outlines separate the color planes, reminiscent of stained glass and contributing to the overall decorative effect.

"La plaine en été" reflects Ranson's interest in the spiritual and mystical aspects of nature, a theme that is recurrent in his work. The landscape is not just a physical space but also an embodiment of the artist's inner feelings and metaphysical musings. This approach aligns with the Nabis' broader goals of breaking down the barriers between the fine arts and the decorative arts, and of creating art that is deeply personal and evocative.

Today, "La plaine en été" is considered an important work within Paul-Elie Ranson's oeuvre and the Nabis movement. It is held in high regard for its innovative approach to landscape painting and its contribution to the development of modern art at the turn of the 20th century. The painting can be seen as a precursor to the abstract landscapes that would emerge later, showcasing Ranson's role as a pioneer in the evolution of modern artistic expression.
