Summer's Delight - A Tapestry of Mythology and Nature
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of "Summer from the Seasons" a remarkable Gobelins Tapestry dating back to around 1680. Created by the talented artist Charles Le Brun, this masterpiece now resides in the Mobilier National in Paris, France. The tapestry depicts a scene that seamlessly intertwines mythology with nature. In the foreground, we see Cupid, the mischievous god of love and desire, playfully watering plants using an array of garden tools. His presence adds an enchanting touch to this idyllic summer setting. As our gaze moves towards the background, we notice cherubs diligently clipping hedges while surrounded by lush greenery. These putti symbolize fertility and abundance, further emphasizing the bountiful nature of summertime. Le Brun's attention to detail is evident as he expertly portrays various mythological figures amidst a pagan landscape. The tapestry evokes a sense of polytheism and religious symbolism through its depiction of multiple gods and goddesses associated with summer. This print allows us to appreciate not only Le Brun's artistic skill but also his ability to transport viewers into a world where mythology mingles harmoniously with everyday life. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, art continues to inspire awe and captivate imaginations across generations.
