Cycle of the months, Medieval fresco cycle in Eagle Tower, Trento, Italy.
The Cycle of the Months contains twelve painted sections displaying rural activities and seasonal changes through detailed agricultural scenes and everyday medieval life.
Master Venceslao created this extensive fresco collection around 1400 under the commission of Prince-Bishop George of Liechtenstein for his private retreat.
Each panel showcases the stark differences between social classes, depicting aristocrats in fine clothing alongside farmers performing seasonal agricultural tasks.
Visitors access the frescoes through guided tours of Eagle Tower, which occupies a dedicated room measuring 6 by 5.8 meters on the second floor.
Eleven of the original twelve panels remain intact, as a sixteenth-century wooden spiral staircase installation destroyed the March panel completely.
