Autumn

A man crowned with vine leaves holds a cluster of grapes aloft while clutching a branch of fruit. He is partially draped in a heavy cloak and stands in a landscape setting. At the top of the print, the Latin name for the season is flanked by the three zodiac symbols representing the months of fall.

This engraving demonstrates the Renaissance integration of natural cycles with celestial movements. By mapping the harvest to the signs of Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius, it reflects the esoteric view of the macrocosm (the stars) influencing the microcosm (earthly life and seasons).
