Month of March with Aries 1559

Franz Brun, also known as Monogrammist FB, created this small drawing, “Month of March with Aries,” in 1559. It depicts various scenes of daily life, including a man plowing a field, a man riding a horse, and a group of people gathering wood. The detailed depiction of the landscape and the figures within it suggests a focus on realism, common in German Renaissance art. This small drawing is part of a larger series of 12, each representing a month of the year and its corresponding zodiac sign.
