1866 Allegory Astronomy Calendar Capricorn December Goat Occult Personification Winter
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "ALLEGORY OF DECEMBER" takes us back to the year 1866, where an English calendar beautifully depicted the essence of this winter month. The image showcases a mesmerizing allegory that intertwines both astronomy and mythology. In the center of the composition stands a majestic Capricorn, symbolizing December's zodiac sign. This mythical creature, half-goat and half-fish, represents ambition and determination. Its presence evokes a sense of strength and resilience as it gazes into the distance. Surrounding Capricorn are two men personifying various aspects of December. They stand in the middle ground, their faces reflecting contemplation as they navigate through this wintry period. With their cloaks billowing in the cold wind, they embody both vulnerability and fortitude. The artist masterfully captures December's aura by incorporating elements such as snowflakes gently falling from above. These delicate crystals add an ethereal touch to the scene while reminding us of winter's icy embrace. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork also hints at deeper meanings associated with occult symbolism often found in historical calendars. It encourages viewers to reflect on personal growth during these colder months – a time for introspection and self-discovery. As we admire this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand, let it serve as a reminder that even amidst darkness and uncertainty, there is beauty to be found within ourselves during December's journey towards renewal
