EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Spring, 1643" by Wenceslaus Hollar takes us back to a time of elegance and beauty. The print showcases one of four female figures symbolizing the four seasons, with Spring being the focal point. In the background, we see a magnificent mansion surrounded by a walled garden, later identified as Tart Hall near St. James's Park. Tart Hall was once owned by Aletheia Talbot, Countess of Arundel, an esteemed collector and connoisseur in her own right. She had this Palladian-style house remodeled for her by George Gage and housed her impressive collection within its walls. From 1641-43, it also served as Hollar's residence before its eventual demolition in 1726. The artwork itself is filled with symbolism and intricate details that transport us to this enchanting era. A bouquet of tulips adorns the woman's hand while she sits elegantly in a coach pulled by majestic horses. Her silk dress flows gracefully around her as she holds a fan delicately in her hand. With verses of poetry scattered throughout the print, it exudes hope and promise for the coming season. The curls framing her face add to her allure while roses bloom nearby signifying love and beauty. This remarkable piece captures not only fashion trends but also serves as a window into history—a testament to Hollar's skill as an artist capturing both physical beauty and deeper meaning through his artistry.
