Third and final submission: All four seasons in a landscape.
For my final piece, I knew I wanted to do something with transforming with a landscape. Even before working on any of my entries and the Flora challenge I have been thinking about projects around transforming landscapes. One of the reasons I liked the Tile for my first entry and so I looked for a landscape piece through the catalog.
Initially thought I would use a colored landscape/realism piece but ended up picking a 16th century artwork titled "Four Landscapes with the Four Seasons" by Hendrick van Schoel (Flemish, active Rome, ca. 1565–1622) After Hans Bol (Netherlandish, Mechelen 1534–1593 Amsterdam).
I thought by the title it was found landscapes and four seasons in one depiction and that got my brain going. Turns out it was a series made by Schoel based on sketches/drafts from Bol, that had four landscape pieces depicting the same landscape and the activities done on the land in different seasons. I saw the other possible pieces in the series online, but The Met only has this Summer version.
So I colorized the summer version and used it as base for the other seasons and took it from there to create videos to show case what a landscape with four seasons happening at once may look like. Working on this also has my creative writing brain thinking as well.
