EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports viewers to a frosty realm of the past. This exquisite engraving, created by Jan van der Straet (Giovanni Stradano) in the Netherlandish style, forms part of a series depicting the four seasons. In this particular image, winter takes center stage as an old man personification graces each corner. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this chilly season through meticulous details and symbolism. From torch-making to bellows operation, every element within the artwork reflects the coldness and warmth-seeking nature associated with winter. The interior setting depicted in "Winter" evokes a sense of coziness amidst freezing temperatures outside. As we gaze upon this scene from centuries ago, we are reminded of how humans have always sought solace indoors during harsh winters.
