Spring from the series The Four Seasons

A muscular, wreathed youth strides through a landscape carrying a basket of flowers, accompanied by a wind head blowing rain. Three celestial medallions above him contain the zodiac signs that govern the spring months: the Ram, the Bull, and the Twins. In the background, tiny figures enjoy the seasonal warmth through picnics and walks in the budding countryside.

This work reflects the Renaissance preoccupation with the relationship between the macrocosm and microcosm, showing how celestial movements in the zodiac directly influence terrestrial cycles. It serves as a visual representation of natural philosophy, where the ordering of time is dictated by the stars.
