EDITORS COMMENTS
Summer, 1641 (etching) by Wenceslaus Hollar captures the essence of a vibrant and fashionable season. This exquisite print is part of a set depicting the four seasons, with Summer represented by a captivating female figure. The background showcases a picturesque view of the River Thames and Lambeth as seen from Arundel House, London. In this three-quarter length portrait, the allegorical figure of Summer is adorned with pearls and wears an elegant lace collar. She sits at a table adorned with melons, symbolizing abundance and fertility. Her attire includes gloves, a fan, and a veil that adds to her allure. Hollar's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. From the delicate curtains framing the scene to the intricate lace on her garments, each element contributes to its overall beauty. The inclusion of verses or poetry further enhances the poetic nature of this piece. Aestas (Latin for summer) comes alive through Hollar's masterful etching technique. This print offers us not only an insight into fashion trends during the 17th century but also serves as an ode to summertime itself. It transports us back in time while reminding us that beauty transcends eras. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this timeless artwork continues to captivate viewers with its elegance and charm.
