SPRING and SUMMER
By Johann Georg Platzer (1704-61)
AUSTRIAN; about 1740
Oil on copper
These dancing and feasting scenes represent Spring and Summer respectively. Such seasonal subjects were popular in the eighteenth century, produced by many artists and widely available in the form of engraved prints.
Platzer specialised in historical and mythological scenes and was influenced by Flemish art of the previous century; the figures here are dressed in seventeenth century fashions.
