About the piece
Created in 1727 by Flemish artist Pieter Snyers, this allegorical work for the month of July features figures tending to bountiful baskets of summer fruits and vegetables. A prominent stone lion statue sits atop a pedestal carved with classical reliefs, while a soft, atmospheric landscape stretches toward distant blue mountains under a cloud-swept sky.
