Shepherds Calendar - June
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Edmund Spenser and Walter Crane, 1898 This beautiful and intricately detailed print, titled "Shepherds Calendar - June," is an illustration from the twelve monthly eclogues of Edmund Spenser's poetic work, "The Shepheards Calender." The artwork was created by renowned English artist, Walter Crane, in 1898. The scene portrayed in this print showcases the pastoral beauty of June, the month of meadows and roses. In the foreground, a shepherd plays his pipe, serenading his flock as they graze peacefully in a lush, green meadow. The sun sets behind the hills, casting a warm, golden glow over the landscape. In the distance, a couple can be seen enjoying a romantic picnic, while a group of shepherdesses gather flowers and sing. The title of the print, "Shepherds Calendar - June," is inscribed at the bottom, along with the names of the poet and artist. The intricate border of the print is adorned with various flowers, fruits, and other symbols of the month, further emphasizing the theme of the natural world and the changing seasons. Edmund Spenser's "The Shepheards Calender" is a collection of twelve eclogues, or pastoral poems, each dedicated to a different month of the year. The work was published in 1579 and is considered an important contribution to the English literary tradition. Walter Crane's illustrations, created over two centuries later, provide a visual complement to Spenser's words, bringing the pastoral scenes to life in a vivid and captivating way. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of the pastoral tradition and the beauty of the natural world, making it a timeless treasure for any art or literature collection.
