Four Seasons: Autumn: Vintage Scene, designed c. 1535, woven mid- to late 1600s. Possibly by Gobelins Manufactory (France, Paris, est. 1662). Wool, silk, and gold filé: tapestry weave; overall: 263 x 370 cm (103 9/16 x 145 11/16 in.). In 16th-century Europe, the grape harvest took place in autumn, a tradition that persists among vintners to this day. Here, men and women gather grapes in buckets and drop them into an enormous wood vat. Two men stomp on the ripe grapes, squeezing out the juice. A man on the far right pours the juice into barrels, where it will ferment into wine. Children sleep or play in the foreground; one mischievous toddler presses grape juice into the mouth of another small child. In the distance four couples dance to music provided by a bagpiper, who is perched in a tree.
