EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Four Seasons" an exquisite engraving by Philip Galle dating back to around 1580. The artwork, originally created by Jan van der Straet (also known as Giovanni Stradano), is now part of a private collection. In this intricate piece, we witness Sol, or Helios, the sun god, steering his chariot through the sky. The chariot is drawn by four magnificent winged horses that effortlessly glide through the heavens. Below them stand four figures personifying each season - spring, summer, autumn, and winter - symbolizing the eternal cycle of nature's transformation. Adding further depth to the composition are personifications of the four winds positioned in each corner. These ethereal beings represent different directions and elements associated with weather phenomena. Cherubs gracefully accompany them amidst billowing clouds and radiant sun rays. "The Four Seasons" engraving beautifully merges classical mythology with natural symbolism. It captures both the grandeur of ancient mythological tales and our profound connection to Earth's ever-changing seasons. This remarkable artwork invites us to contemplate the harmony between celestial forces and earthly cycles while marveling at its meticulous details and artistic finesse. As we gaze upon this print from www. bridgemanart. com, we are transported into a world where time stands still – a timeless tribute to nature's perpetual dance throughout all seasons.
