Astrological Astrology Calendar Crook Elizabethan Pastoral Staff Virgo Calender
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Month of September from "The Shepheardes Calender" by Esmond Spenser, a renowned poet from the 16th century. The facsimile of the original woodcut, published in 1579, transports us back to an era filled with pastoral beauty and allegorical symbolism. In this image, we are immersed in a serene landscape where a male shepherd takes center stage. Clad in traditional Elizabethan attire, he dons a wide-brimmed hat and holds both staff and crook as symbols of his trade. His presence exudes tranquility and wisdom as he stands amidst nature's bounty. The Month of September carries deeper meaning beyond its visual appeal. It represents Virgo in astrology, linking it to concepts of harvest season and earthly abundance. This connection between astrological signs and natural cycles adds another layer to our understanding of this enchanting artwork. Through this photograph, we glimpse into medieval times when shepherds played significant roles within their communities. The artist skillfully captures the essence of pastoral life while evoking a sense of timelessness that transcends centuries. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection but is made accessible for all to appreciate thanks to www. bridgemanart. com. Its intricate details invite contemplation on themes such as seasons, astrology, allegory, and the enduring allure of classical literature like "The Shepheardes Calender. "
