Description: | Jakob de Wit was a Dutch artist, whose paintings of plump children were influenced by the work of Rubens. A typical example can be seen in in this painting, in the cherub-like children with flowers, representing spring. The child on the right, holding a sickle and sheaf of corn symbolises summer. The painting is one of a pair illustrating the Four Seasons, and, as can be understood from its low view point, was probably intended to have been hung above a door. | Subjects: | allegory (spring and summer); figure; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Wit, Jacob de (Dutch painter, 1695-1754) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8647... | Go to resource |
