This set of tapestries is organised around the theme of seasons, whose name comes from the supposed author of the original version, the Flemish Lucas Cornelis or Lucas de  Olanda. The manufacture des Gobelins reproduced them a dozen of times during the 17th and 18th century, proof of its success.

The scenes depicts aristrocatical games and activities (hunt, archery, card games…)  as well as the rest of the population’s (gardening, fishing, harvest…)
