Description: | Spring is represented by the cherub-like children with flowers, on the left of this scene. The child on the right holding a sickle and a sheaf of corn represents Summer. The low viewpoint of the picture indicates that it was meant to be placed high, perhaps above a door, as part of a formal room setting. Jakob De Wit was a Dutch artist, whose decorative pictures of children were influenced by paintings by Peter Paul Rubens. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1714 to 1750 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Jakob De Wit | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
