Spring, from The Four Seasons, 1601
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving on cream laid paper by the renowned Dutch artist, Jan Saenredam. This masterpiece, a testament to the beauty and richness of the 17th century, showcases the essence of the season of renewal and rebirth. At the heart of the image, a young couple is depicted in the midst of spring's enchantment. The woman, with a playful smile and rosy cheeks, offers a bouquet of spring flowers to her companion. He, with a mischievous grin, reaches out to take the flowers, their hands almost touching. The scene is filled with the metaphorical symbolism of young love blossoming in the midst of nature's rebirth. In the background, two boys are seen playing with a lamb and a sheep, symbolizing innocence and joy. The presence of Cupid, the Roman god of love, in the upper left corner, further emphasizes the theme of love and desire. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimension, drawing the viewer into the scene. This engraving, a part of the "The Four Seasons" series by Hendrick Goltzius and Jan Saenredam, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly the Dutch Mannerist tradition. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this heritage piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of Jan Saenredam's work and the story it tells of the joys of spring and the beginnings of love.
