Noon Personified: A Lady's Dance with the Sun in the 17th Century This enchanting print, titled 'Noon Personified' or 'Le Temps de Midi' (The Hour of Noon), depicts the personification of the hour of noon as a graceful lady. The image, created in the 17th century, captures the essence of the midday sun and the natural phenomena associated with this time. The lady, elegantly dressed, is depicted going out into the midday sun. She holds a parasol in one hand to protect herself from the intense heat and shield her complexion, while with the other hand, she fans herself to create a gentle breeze and alleviate the discomfort of the scorching sun. The intricate details of her clothing, from the lace collars to the voluminous skirts, highlight the opulence and grandeur of the era. The sun, a central element of the scene, is personified as a radiant, golden orb, casting its warm rays upon the lady. The hour hand of a clock, visible at the bottom of the print, adds a historical context to the image, emphasizing the passage of time and the significance of the hour of noon. This print is a testament to the early understanding of the importance of protecting oneself from the sun's harsh rays, a practice still relevant in today's world. The image also serves as a reminder of the beauty and allure of the natural world, as well as the rich history and artistic traditions of the past. This print, with its intricate details and historical significance, is a must-have for any collection focusing on the natural phenomena, personifications, or the history of times and seasons. A true masterpiece from the annals of history, 'Noon Personified' is a timeless work of art that continues to captivate and inspire.
