Herfst 1563

"Herfst" (Autumn) is an engraving by Philips Galle, created in 1563, that depicts the season of autumn through allegorical representation. In the foreground, a figure representing Autumn stands with a cornucopia of fruits. The background illustrates the seasonal activities of the harvest, including farmers and agricultural tasks. The image is a powerful example of 16th-century printmaking and its ability to convey allegorical messages.
