<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 978163, member: 5833"]The Poussin is entirely symbolic, using tropes from classical mythology: Chronos playing the music for the endless wheeling dance of the Seasons; overhead, Phoebus Apollo in the Chariot of the Sun making his daily traverse of the heavens, Aurora leading the way, with the Hours in their own unending cycle; a Genius with an hourglass & the sands of time; another blowing soap bubbles, shimmering, impermanent; a janate head on a garlanded herm, the past & future. Completely allegorical with no human figures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
