EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Fructidor (August/September)" the twelfth month of the Republican Calendar, beautifully engraved by Tresca around 1794. Created by Louis Lafitte and now housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet, this colored engraving depicts a personification of summer as a female figure. The image exudes an air of abundance and harvest, with the woman surrounded by luscious pomegranates and other fruits. She stands before an altar adorned with offerings, symbolizing the bountiful gifts that nature bestows during this time of year. Intriguingly, she also represents Virgo, the zodiac sign associated with late August to mid-September. As such, her presence embodies both the essence of summer and the characteristics attributed to those born under this astrological sign - practicality, intelligence, and attention to detail. Through this artwork's intricate details and vibrant colors, we are transported into a world where nature's generosity is celebrated. It serves as a reminder of our connection to the cycles of life and highlights humanity's reliance on Mother Earth for sustenance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece from Fine Art Finder via www. bridgemanimages. com let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to evoke emotions tied to gratitude for all that nature provides.
