EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "January, from Spensers 'The Shepherds Calendar', 1579" takes us back in time to the enchanting world of medieval rural life. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 16th century, this artwork is part of a private collection and showcases the month of January as depicted in Edmund Spenser's renowned work. In this allegorical scene, we are transported to a quaint village nestled amidst rolling hills and fertile farmland. A young shepherd boy stands at the center, his bagpipes filling the crisp winter air with melodious tunes. Surrounding him is a flock of sheep peacefully grazing under cloudy skies. Symbolizing both astrology and agriculture, this woodcut beautifully captures the essence of January - a season marked by introspection and new beginnings. The broken town in the background hints at hardships faced during this time while also alluding to hope for renewal. With its intricate details and delicate lines, this piece exemplifies Elizabethan artistry at its finest. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when children roamed freely through pastoral landscapes, embracing their connection with nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, we are transported to another era where farming was not just an occupation but a way of life – one that celebrated harmony between man and nature.
