Personification of Summer

A powerful nude figure stands at the center, crowned with ears of corn and holding large sheaves of harvested grain. Above and around him are the celestial symbols of the summer months—a crab, a lion, and a virgin—while the background shows peasants working in the fields under a bright sun. The entire scene is enclosed in a circular frame featuring Latin inscriptions that describe the season's bounty.

This work reflects the Renaissance preoccupation with the macrocosm-microcosm relationship, specifically how celestial movements in the zodiac dictate the cycles of terrestrial life and human labor. It serves as a visual representation of the order of the cosmos as understood in natural philosophy, where planetary and stellar positions govern the four seasons.
