The Four Seasons: Autumn is a 1641 by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, depicting Bohemia, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a person dressed in heavy, old-fashioned clothes. They’re holding a basket full of fruit and vegetables—grapes, apples, and leafy greens. The person’s face is serious, with a hood pulled up around their ears. The word *Autumn* is written at the top and bottom, along with some Latin and English lines about the season. The artist carved tiny details into the metal plate to make the lines and textures. Next, check out Baroque to see how this style used drama and detail.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
