The Grape Harvest or Autumn
Artist: Francisco Goya y Lucientes (Spanish, 1746-1828)
Date: 1786
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain
Description
Dressed in yellow clothes that symbolize autumn, a young man sitting on a stone offers a cluster of black grapes to a lady. A boy is eager to reach the offered fruit, which is reserved for the adults. A woman stands next to them, holding a grape basket on her head, much like the classical allegory of the goddess Ceres with fruit on her head. Some grape harvesters are behind them, next to the grapevine that leads to a valley crowned with the suggestion of mountains in the background. Here, following Western painting's traditional iconography, the grape harvest is an allegory of autumn. This is one of the most beautiful and best-known compositions from all of Goya's cartoon series. It's pyramidal structure, and the figures that recall ancient statuary, define the artist's study of the classical artistic tradition.

Grapes
Grapes can come ripe anywhere from July to October around here, depending on the variety and the weather. There is a vine down at Home Farm, the last remaining one that my late father planted, that usually ripens in early September. What type are they? Well. Purple. Sorry. He didn't remember what he had planted when I asked him.
They started ripening early this year, like most other fruits, so my son brought me a bowl of them a little over a week ago. Now, however, they are really ripe. And how do I know they're at their peak sweetness? Well. Let me tell you a little story.

There were two big grape arbors at my grandparents' house, one purple and one golden-green. They were so good. My grandmother had a rule for picking them. "Watch the wasps. When the wasps are biting them to drink the juice, THEN they're sweet enough!"
Yesterday, standing in the yard picking grapes, I noticed that one had a tiny mark on the side. A wasp had 'bitten' it to get a tiny drop of sweetness. "Ah," I thought to myself, "The grapes are wasp-approved." They were. so sweet and good.
So now YOU have a memory of her, too. 1916 - 1995
(fwiw, the photo isn't retouched, she just went gray at a very early age, so she had the unusual "gray hair & young face" look.)
