Winter 1714 - 1762

"Winter", an etching created between 1714 and 1762 by Jakob Wangner, depicts the season of winter in a stylized allegory. The scene includes a central figure of a man, possibly representing Winter, sitting on a rocky outcropping beneath a tree, with a flowing cloak. In the upper right corner are three angels representing the zodiac sign of Capricorn, associated with the winter solstice. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the intricate detail and symbolism common in Baroque-era art.
