EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Month of October from Edmund Spenser's renowned work, The Shepheardes Calender. Created in 1586, this facsimile of the original woodcut transports us back to the Elizabethan era, immersing us in a pastoral scene filled with allegorical symbolism. In this idyllic landscape, we witness a shepherd surrounded by his flock of sheep against a backdrop of classical architecture. Clutching his staff firmly, he stands as a symbol of strength and guidance amidst the autumnal beauty that surrounds him. Above him, clouds form the shape of Scorpio, alluding to astrological influences on agricultural practices during medieval times. The image captures both the tranquility and productivity associated with rural life during this season. As leaves fall gently from trees and winter approaches, there is an air of anticipation for what lies ahead. The shepherd's presence reminds us that even in nature's cycles and changing seasons, there is always someone watching over and caring for those under their charge. This evocative print invites viewers to reflect on themes such as time passing, seasonal change, and man's connection to nature. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transport us across centuries while simultaneously connecting us to our own experiences within the natural world.
