"Ormes en Mai" (Elms in May) is a painting by the Belgian artist Emile Claus (1849–1924), who was a leading figure in the Belgian luminist movement, an offshoot of impressionism that emphasized the effects of light and color. The painting is characteristic of Claus's mature style, which combined a vibrant palette with a dynamic brushwork to capture the luminous atmosphere of the landscape.

The artwork depicts a scene of elms in the spring, likely inspired by the countryside around Claus's home in Astene, where he lived and worked after moving from Brussels in 1883. The painting is infused with the fresh greens and soft light of the season, demonstrating Claus's fascination with the changing qualities of natural light and his ability to translate them onto canvas.

"Ormes en Mai" reflects the influence of French impressionism on Claus's work, particularly the emphasis on plein air painting and the transient effects of light. However, Claus's approach is often considered more structured and less fleeting than that of his French counterparts, with a clearer composition and a more deliberate application of color.

As a notable work within Emile Claus's oeuvre, "Ormes en Mai" exemplifies the artist's contribution to the development of luminism and his role in the broader European impressionist movement. The painting is celebrated for its ability to evoke the essence of the spring landscape through its radiant depiction of light and color, and it remains an important piece for the study of late 19th-century European art.

The painting is part of a collection in a museum or private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art exhibitions dedicated to Emile Claus or Belgian impressionism. Art historians and critics have often highlighted "Ormes en Mai" for its technical mastery and its embodiment of the principles of luminism, making it a significant work for understanding Claus's artistic legacy and the evolution of landscape painting at the turn of the 20th century.
