Month of June?

The theme of the Months is, together with that of the arts and trades, very frequent in Italian 13th-century sculpture; the two cycles reveal close iconographic affinities, both drawing on man's most common activities in the countryside and in the workshops. The unknown great master of Ferrara was inspired by the powerful series of Months in the Baptistery of Parma, by Antelami and his close collaborators, softening its gravity with a more discursive manner.
