May and June
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by the renowned 16th-century German artist Sebald Beham, created between 1546 and 1547. This masterpiece is part of Beham's series titled "The Peasant's Feast or the Twelve Months," specifically plate 3. The image depicts the transition from May to June, showcasing the vibrant and bustling agricultural life of the time. On the left side, we see May represented by a woman in traditional peasant attire, adorned with a floral headdress and holding a sheaf of wheat. She is surrounded by various symbols of the month, including a lamb, a goat, and a tree in full bloom. On the right side, we find June, symbolized by a man in peasant clothing, wearing a broad-brimmed hat and holding a scythe. He is surrounded by symbols of the month, such as a rose, a hare, and a tree laden with ripe fruit. The background of the engraving is filled with lively scenes of farm laborers and farmhands at work, engaged in various agricultural activities. The intricate details of the clothing, the lettering, and the overall composition of the engraving provide a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and daily life of rural Europe during the 1540s. The black and white contrast adds depth and texture to the image, making it a timeless piece of art that continues to captivate viewers today. This engraving is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its historical significance and artistic merit.
