About this work

This engraving by Maarten van Heemskerck shows Time as a winged old man seated on a chariot pulled by stags, with figures representing the seasons, including Autumn, Winter, Summer and Spring, moving beside it. Clock-face wheels, an hourglass and crumbling ruins across the landscape reinforce the theme of time destroying all things, and Latin verses appear along the bottom edge.
