Three tile panels with Autumn, Summer and Spring c. 1760 - 1780

This tile panel, part of a set depicting the seasons, was created by Johannes Aelmis, a Dutch tile maker, around 1760-1780. The artwork is a fine example of Delftware, a type of tin-glazed earthenware known for its distinctive blue-and-white palette. The panel depicts a pastoral scene with a man and a dog in a wooded landscape, framed by elaborate Rococo-inspired floral motifs. The intricate detail and delicate brushstrokes showcase Aelmis's mastery of the Delftware technique. This panel, along with its counterparts depicting Summer, Spring and Autumn, would have been a decorative element in a Dutch home, showcasing the artistic talents of the time.
