About the piece
Painted around 1670 by Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, this intricate work depicts the 'Allegory of Autumn' through a layered mythological lens. At the center, a tondo reveals the wine god Bacchus in his chariot, while the surrounding space is filled with figures representing harvest, abundance, and the passage of time. The warm, golden-brown palette and dynamic movement are characteristic of the period's high decorative style.
