Saturn
Renaissance Renaissance Allegory

About this work

This print shows a tall, hooded man holding a scythe in one hand and a baby in the other. Around his feet, four small children sit or kneel, looking up at him. His face is serious, almost stern, and his robe drapes heavily over his body. The title *Saturn* hints this might be a mythological figure linked to time or harvest. The scythe suggests he’s connected to cutting or ending things. Look up Renaissance next to see how artists used old myths in new ways.
