Kalenderblad december met gier 1914

Theo van Hoytema’s “Kalenderblad december met gier” (1914) is a striking example of art nouveau style in a calendar format. This piece, which depicts a vulture with a calendar for the month of December, is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum. The artwork, which features a vulture in the foreground with its wings outstretched, is visually appealing with its detailed line work and use of muted colors. The calendar is incorporated into the design, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The use of a vulture as a central motif adds an intriguing symbolic element to the piece, representing themes of death and renewal.
