Légende

April (Taurus), late 16th century. Slaughtering sheep, raising chickens, tending goats. The butchered meat is hung on pegs, with innards and an axe on a table in the foreground. One of a series of the twelve months of the year. Each month includes its corresponding zodiac sign - here Taurus the bull floats above - and like the Seasons and the Elements, is visualized through everyday scenes typical of each time of year.
