The painting cycle consists of four panels for three months each, together they make a calendar year. It cites some of the so-called Monatsscheiben, the Augsburg painter Jörg Breu d. Ä. Probably made for a typical annual cycle in 1521, and was probably created a decade later by an unknown hand. New in our cycle is that the seasonal activities in the individual months are ideally combined to form a scenic narrative about life in a city at the beginning of the early modern period. It opens up a social panorama with merchants and farmers, councilors and beggars, a jousting tournament or the slaughtering of pigs. The annual process takes place in harmony with nature and in perfect harmony of city and society, work and living space.
