The Twelve Ages of Man: The Last Three Ages of Man (54-72), or Winter. Author: Author of inscriptions possibly Jerome van Busleyden (Hieronymus Buslidius) (ca. 1470-1517). Culture: Flemish, Brussels. Designer: Probably after a design by the Workshop of Bernard van Orley (Netherlandish, Brussels ca. 1492-1541/42 Brussels). Dimensions: H. 175 x W. 282 inches (444.5 x 716.3 cm). Date: ca. 1515. This tapestry illustrates the final three ages of man, equated with old age, infirmity and death, in a tripartite composition. The last eighteen years of life correspond to the months of October, November, and December, and to the season of winter, presided over by Aeolus, ruler of the winds. Boreas is more usual in this role, but he is shown as a wind in the December section. The two attendants may be personifications of Snow and Frost. The owl, a symbol of death and sleep, is appropriate for the season. Each of the three vertical sections includes a roundel at the top surrounded by twenty-four hourglasses on a ground that is light above and dark below, in varied proportions, according to the seasons. Each roundel contains a sign of the zodiac, here Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn, and a figure symbolizing a month. The roundels are seen against the sky, which is dark blue at the top, and are flanked by winds, usually with their names inscribed on their bellows or elsewhere. Below the two outer roundels is a representation of the occupation of a month; here, feeding pigs for October and threshing and winnowing for December (which is not a usual activity for this month and is probably included to allude to the accompanying inscription "The Goat shakes the grain from the fallen ears"). Below the occupations and the center roundels are episodes from classical history, mythology, the Old Testament or the Apocryphal Gospels, each illustrating one of the twelve ages of man. Under October, the piety of the Byzantine Emperor Tiberius II is rewarded when he causes a paving stone ina
