As summer draws to a close, there’s a quiet, almost melancholic shift in the air. The golden days of warmth, laughter, and endless sunlight are slowly fading. With each shorter day, the night seems to creep in earlier, reminding us of the approaching autumn— a season that, like life, is marked by change and the bittersweet passage of time.
The four paintings in Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s “The Seaons” are back on display in the Louvre, following a restoration that saw the removal of not only yellowing varnish, but later additions to the paintings that obscured some of the original details.
Aside from mysterious nocturnal creatures and inner earth cults, there are also elves and dwarfs in the forest. There are dark holes in trees that are obviously the entrances to elf homes. There are ancient tree stumps clearly used by the elf-king to address his gathered followers during moonlight ceremonies.
Here in the wilderness of October, there are no veils, no doorways, and no thresholds for those who are willing and able to walk between the worlds.
