An assortment of people line a wide lane to watch a courtly ball game similar to volleyball. It's a pleasant summer day. In the foreground, two lovers sit in the shade, entwined in each other's embrace. The lane is bordered by greenery on both sides: a neatly manicured formal garden with a gurgling fountain on the left, and a wild, lush forest with goats and deer on the right. This #MuseumMomentofZen is brought to you by "A Ball Game Before a Country Palace," painted by Dutch artist Adriaen van de Venne around 1614. This painting and its companion, "Merry Company in an Arbor," were part of a series of four landscapes representing the seasons. . . . 🏷️ #getty #gettycenter #paintings #summer
