The post The grape harvest or Autumn first appeared on History Lab.

]]> The work by Fiammingo in the second half of the 16th century depicts one of the most typical scenes of the European peasantry in autumn: the grape harvest. After the dry summer, when the sun had fed the vineyards with its rays, the grapes were harvested to be trodden and the wine-making process began. In the more distant shots of the composition, we can see how the grapes were harvested, as well as the need for pack animals to transport the product. The whole family was involved in this activity, as there is a direct allusion to the child conversing with an adult, possibly his father, who is trying to tread the grapes for fun.

]]> The Royal Botanic Gardens Digital Library is an online resource providing free and open access to more than 7,500 publications from the early modern period to the present day. It contains an excellent digital collection based mainly on materials in the form of books, magazines, pamphlets and leaflets which have been previously digitised and which are mostly from the collection of the Library of the Royal Botanic Gardens. In this case, the Semanario de Agricultura y Artes addressed to the parish priests, created in 1797, aimed to inform in an updated way and through a newspaper-like format, of the advances and new techniques in the arts of Agriculture and Industry, both in Spain and internationally. Its target audience tended to be the peasantry and artisans.
