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

This panel of Delftware tiles, created between 1760 and 1780 by Johannes (I) Aelmis, is a stunning example of Dutch decorative arts. The panel is made up of individual square tiles, each with a blue and white design that depicts a pastoral scene. In the center of the composition, a pair of figures are shown in an idealized landscape. The central scene is framed by elaborate, floral patterns that extend across the entire surface of the panel. These intricate decorative elements are characteristic of Delftware tiles of this period. The use of blue and white palette, known as "Delft Blue", was prevalent in this region and is recognizable for its aesthetic and historical significance. The panel is a testament to the enduring beauty of Dutch decorative arts.
