About the piece
Dating to approximately 1760, this painting illustrates the month of May through a narrative scene set in a formal garden. Figures are shown picking flowers and socializing against a backdrop of a grand fountain and distant architectural ruins, capturing the Rococo fascination with pastoral idylls and the passing of the seasons.
