EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the 16th century. Created by Jan Saenredam, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of autumn and its association with Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and revelry.

The scene exudes a sense of merriment and celebration as the figures indulge in the bountiful fruits of the season. Grapes hang from vines while apples and pears lie scattered on the ground.
