"Midsummer" is a notable painting by Sir James Guthrie (1859–1930), a prominent Scottish artist and leading figure in the Glasgow School movement. Created in 1892, this work is often celebrated for its evocative representation of rural Scottish life and its significant role in the development of naturalism in Scottish art.

The painting depicts a group of young girls in a sunlit meadow, engaged in the pastime of making garlands from wildflowers. Guthrie's masterful use of light and shadow, along with his sensitive portrayal of the figures, imbues the scene with a sense of idyllic tranquility and the fleeting nature of childhood. The composition's informal arrangement and the artist's loose brushwork reflect the influence of French Impressionism and the broader trend towards naturalism in European art of the period.

"Midsummer" is acclaimed for its technical proficiency and its poignant thematic content, which resonates with the broader social and artistic concerns of the late 19th century. The painting is held in high regard within Guthrie's oeuvre and is considered a key example of the Glasgow School's contribution to British art. It is housed in a public collection, allowing viewers to appreciate Guthrie's skill in capturing the delicate interplay of light and the nuanced expressions of his subjects.

As a testament to Guthrie's reputation, he was knighted in 1920 and served as the president of the Royal Scottish Academy from 1902 until his death in 1930. "Midsummer" remains a significant work for scholars studying the Glasgow School and for those interested in the evolution of naturalism and Impressionism within Scottish painting.
