Document source description
Regions and Seasons: Allegorical figures of the seasons – both male and female – along with their characteristic symbols, are placed in the lower center of this double-hemisphere world map. Spring with her flowers sits near Summer with the Horn of Plenty, while “Old Man” Winter kneels to the right. Dionysus, the Greek god of fruitfulness and wine is also present as an ode to an abundant harvest, while four wind heads blow on the earth from their designated part of the sky. This map combines contemporary geography with mythological figures from the past, creating a decorative blend of old and new.
