Aubrey Autumn Beardsley Calendar Pedestal Satyrs
EDITORS COMMENTS
Autumn's Abundance: A Visual Feast by Aubrey Beardsley Step into the captivating world of Aubrey Beardsley's Autumn, an exquisite illustration from a design for a calendar dating back to the 1890s. This mesmerizing artwork invites us to indulge in the sensual delights of the season, as personified by the bountiful harvest and the enchanting presence of female satyrs. The central focus of the composition is an ornate pedestal, overflowing with an array of ripe, succulent fruits. The luscious array of pears, apples, grapes, and figs is a testament to the abundance and richness of Autumn's harvest. The intricately carved pedestal, adorned with acanthus leaves and scrollwork, adds an element of elegance and refinement to the scene. Surrounding the pedestal are three ethereal figures, each embodying the essence of the season. Dressed in flowing robes, their bodies are adorned with ivy and leaves, signifying their connection to the natural world. Their elongated limbs and sinuous curves, a hallmark of Beardsley's distinctive Art Nouveau style, add an air of sensuality and allure to the image. The female satyrs, or satyresses, are depicted in various stages of interaction with the fruits. One figure reaches out to pluck a pear, her expression one of delight and satisfaction. Another figure, with a basket in hand, seems to be gathering the abundant harvest, while the third figure gazes up at the heavens, her eyes closed in reverie. Beardsley's Autumn is a visual feast for the senses, inviting us to revel in the beauty and bounty of the season. Through his masterful use of line, form, and composition, the artist captures the essence of Autumn, making it an enduring and enchanting work of art.
